Description
New to Boat Crew is an easy-to-understand and practical introductory book for those who are new to boating, whether sailing or motor boating. Written by Basil Mosenthal, the book provides a safe introduction to life as a crew member, with explanations of concepts, routines and tasks on board. It covers basic skills such as ropes and rigging, working on deck, anchoring and mooring, as well as safe travel to and from the dock. It also covers sail handling, steering, safety and interaction on board, with a focus on understanding the role of the crew and contributing to safe and efficient boating. The Norwegian edition has been adapted to Norwegian conditions by Jon Winge and serves both as a reference book on board and as preparatory reading for new crews.
