Singlehanded Sailing: Thoughts, Tips, Techniques & Tactics
"It takes thousands of hours of sailing to get the kind of knowledge contained in this book." -- from the Foreword by Bruce Schwab
The ONLY bible for how to sail your boat fast, safe, and aloneSolo sailing is within any sailor's grasp with a little forethought--and this essential guide.
Got a 35-foot sailboat? No problem. Is the wind blowing 20 knots? No problem. Are you racing offshore overnight? Even better.

Learn everything you need to know to meet any solo challenge, including:
- Managing the power consumption aboard a boat to feed the electric autopilot
- Setting and gybing a spinnaker
- Finding time to sleep
- Dealing with heavy weather
