Synopsis

The knowledge to sort yourself out when encountering problems at sea is largely forgotten. How to find your way when the GPS plotter has a blackout, how to get yourself off when grounded, how to save the life of someone in your crew when the ambulance or SAR helicopter is hours away. Too many rely on technology to navigate and run their boats, and this beautifully illustrated handbook will be a literal backup when the tech fails, filled with core knowledge - seamanship - that all skippers should know anyway, whether they're in the middle of an emergency or not.

Packed with vital information, with handy fact boxes to highlight especially important information, the authors have lent a modern, real-world approach to the subject matter, and the wonderful illustrations bring it to life. Contents include:

Olle Landsell is an experienced sailor and illustrator. He cruised the Baltic and North Sea areas for several years, mostly single-handed, and has made a solo voyage to the Caribbean. He now sails, paints and illustrates, drawing inspiration from the beautiful Swedish archipelagos.
