Description
This practical guide provides a clear and visual solution for navigating a yacht under engine at close quarters in a marina. It's a valuable resource for those looking to take their boat off a pontoon and set sail, or to berth their vessel after a day on the water.
Manoeuvring a yacht in challenging conditions, such as fast-flowing tides and unpredictable wind, can be daunting for even the most experienced boat handlers. This well-organised visual guide helps to break down each possible combination of wind and tide situation, making it easier to tackle these scenarios.
With one manoeuvre per page and a handy wire format, this guide is ideal for those looking to teach themselves or use as an on-board aide-memoire. It's a useful resource for nervous helmsmen and a great conversation starter for crew.
