Alastair Buchan Bücher

A practical guide for the solo sailor or shorthanded crew – manoeuvres, short passages and ocean crossings. Singlehanded or short of crew? This colour guide gives practical advice on manoeuvring, cruising, passage-making and getting some sleep! This is a book no thinking sailor should be without.

A handy, splash-proof, on-the-water reference guide of those calculations frequently needed (but often forgotten) for traditional coastal and offshore navigation and other equations, formulae and conversion factors which can be useful afloat. Each topic has worked examples, and there are frequent diagrams to illustrate the process.
