Manoeuvring: At Close Quarters Under Power Book

This is a unique practical hands-on guide to boat manoeuvring. Manoeuvring a yacht under engine at close quarters in a marine of close to other (expensive!) boats can be a daunting prospect for the inexperienced skipper - but it has to be done in order to take your boat off a pontoon to go sailing and to berth her after a day on the water. Throw in fast flowing tides and wind which might blow from the bow or beam or stern and the exercise becomes even more of a lottery - even for the experienced boat handler. Here at last is a well organised visual guide to coping in every possible combination of wind and tide. Laid out in a very clear fashion with one manoeuvre per page and in a handy wiro format this is the ideal teach yourself guide and the perfect on-board aide memoire. It will be a godsend to every nervous helmsman and a good talking point for crew!

A unique practical hands-on guide to the essential skill of boat manoeuvring for boat skippers and crew. It's the perfect aide memoire and ideal for use when at the helm for real!
