Harbor and Anchorage Maneuvers and Line Handling Operations

Product description

Illustrated guide on rope handling and harbor and anchoring maneuvers.

Modern recreational boats are usually equipped with electric winches, autopilots, bow thrusters, etc. These devices are very reliable, allowing long voyages without the need for extensive sailing knowledge. However, as rescue services can confirm, more and more boats require assistance, even when they could reach port on their own.

This manual shows you the essential techniques for rope handling, maneuvers, and anchoring to undertake long or short voyages with a reasonable degree of safety.
Each topic is clearly explained with over 150 detailed illustrations, making it a simple and easy-to-follow guide.
