RESUMEN DEL LIBRO:
HOW TO BE A REALLY USEFUL CREW AND ENJOY YOURSELF. A book intended for anyone going sailing for the first time in a cruising boat, as opposed to a dinghy. It is equally suitable for those with dinghy experience as well as those who have never sailed before. It is packed with illustrations showing how a boat sails and what tasks the novice crew can participate in, such as getting ready to leave the pontoon, casting off, hoisting the sails, steering the boat, and helping with the anchor. This book will be welcomed by novice crew wanting a flavour of the cruising life and not wanting to feel out of place on board a yacht.
PRECIO: 18,40 Euros
