By Duncan Wells.Paperback, 0.46kg, 160 pages, 190mm x 245mm, Colour Photographs and line drawings. 2nd Edition published in 2021.
By definition, couples sailing alone have to do everything for themselves. They leave the berth, set the sails, helm the boat, navigate, trim the sails, anchor, pick up mooring buoys, enter harbour, moor up and all without the help of any extra crew. So they need to carry out these manoeuvres efficiently and effectively, with as little physical effort as possible.
Stress-free Sailing is the answer to single or short-handed crews' prayers – a step-by-step handbook, clearly illustrated with straightforward diagrams and sequence photos, addressing the most common sailing situations that anyone cruising will have to manage. Here you will find clever, highly effective and successful short-handed solutions for dealing with everything from getting off and then back onto the dock in a variety of wind and tide configurations, sail setting and reefing, mooring and anchoring, to sailing in heavy weather and new techniques for man overboard and more.
This second edition has been thoroughly updated with new diagrams, photographs and practical tips and advice on mooring, navigating, anchoring and safety at sea. It also includes a total of 24QR codes dotted throughout, linking to additional video demonstrations that really bring the techniques to life. With its original techniques for coping in every situation, this book will be an invaluable reference.
Duncan Wells is an RYA Instructor, Principal of Westview Sailing School and a featured Magazine writer for Yachting Monthly and Sail magazines
