Samenvatting:

Many yachtsmen cut their sailing teeth on boats that were spartan and often difficult to sail. Trips to the foredeck in the face of a rising wind were part and parcel of a cruising holiday, and some still find this challenge exhilarating, but there are also some who would now like to utilize modern equipment to travel further and in greater safety.;Modern yacht equipment offers a variety of devices which, with careful planning, can assist the short-handed family crew and make life afloat easier and safer. This book looks at each part of a yacht and suggests what can be done to improve the above- and below-deck environment. It also surveys recent products, many of which may be new to the reader.
