Practical Seamanship : Essential Skills for the Modern Sailor

"Practical Seamanship is the distilled knowledge, experience and research from a lifetime of offshore sailing and cruising. The Dashews' new book, complete in every detail, should be required reading for every skipper and every crew who aspires to safe passagemaking and happy landfalls on far and exotic lands." George Day, Editor, Bluewater Sailing.

Whether you are working your way through ice, piloting in coral, running a breaking bar, anchoring in a hurricane hole, or salvaging your boat after a hurricane, Practical Seamanship covers it all.
