RYA Yacht Sailing Techniques (G-G94)

RYA Yacht Sailing Techniques is the perfect companion for any skipper or crew looking for the basic skills to enjoy cruising in good conditions.

Contents include:

The layout and equipment on a small to medium sized yacht

The essential safety information that all need to know before getting underway

Basic maintenance

Manoeuvring in a marina

Handling under sail

Anchoring and mooring

Man overboard rescue strategy

This will provide you with enough information to enjoy relaxed yacht cruising in favourable conditions with a family, particularly for flotilla or bareboat holidays. That means fair weather, light to moderate winds, little or no tide, a quiet sailing area, easily assessed navigational hazards, well protected anchorages with good holding and uncrowded marinas.

Specific recommendations are made throughout the book to RYA courses and books for those who wish to increase their knowledge and expertise to higher levels.
