Overview

Success in any yacht race depends to a large degree on the ability of the crew to perform any boat-handling maneuvers faultlessly and speedily. This book explains the evolution of just about every situation likely to be encountered during a race at sea. Each one is examined with an overview of the sequence that should take place and its objective, and then the task of each crew member is explained both for preparation, operation and completion.

Synopsis

The Magic of the Swatchways rejoices in the natural romance of the wild and deserted creeks and views of the East Coast of England, speaking to those who love to explore in small boats. It is a book that will enthrall anyone who is entrance by the peace and solitude of the creeks at night and the moan of the sea on the sands. The Magic of the Swatchways provides a fascinating insight into a unique and beautiful area which may never again be the same.
