Description
Maneuvering for Sail and Power is a practical and educational handbook for boaters who want to become more confident in maneuvering both sail and power boats. Written by Rob Gibson, the book explains how boat movement is affected by wind, current, propeller power and speed, with a particular focus on precise maneuvering in narrow waters and harbors. It provides clear guidance on mooring and unmooring, using the engine and rudder together, handling a boat in crosswinds and currents, and maneuvering in confined spaces. The content is richly illustrated and laid out step by step, allowing both beginners and more experienced boaters to improve their skills. The book is suitable both as a textbook and as a practical reference work on board.
