SELF SUFFICIENT SAILOR

This is the reprinted edition of the publication featuring the completely rewritten and updated content. The text of the book remains full of brilliant ideas related to the art of sailing – this is exactly what the authors were famous for through decades. The advice to the newcomers to the world of sailing, provided by the authors, is truly priceless and it is also timeless, taking into consideration how they dealt with the real-life knowledge, understanding and practical sea-going experience.

We all know that most of the fundamentals of the sailing science do not change; however, some of the topics become obsolete as the vessels and sailing techniques and technologies develop. We are quite sure that if one could look say a century from today, he or she would still see the sailors of the future onboard boats with no engines installed, and still having such pieces of classics as sextants, despite the rapid development of the technology.

Well, you never know how the sea will behave and if you will be left without your set of smart tools and gadgets! This book was written having in mind the sailors who want to be prepared to all surprises that the nature can produce, and this is something we would recommend to all sailors.
