Description

2nd edition. - US Sailing Association, 2002. 125 p. — ISBN: 1-882502-97-3 Cruising on a sailboat usually means sailing to a destination and returning to your home port. You will sail long stretches toward the wind (upwind or close-hauled), across the wind (reaching) and with the wind (broad reach or a run). At times, you will zig-zag at right angles toward the wind (tacking) and zig-zag at various angles with the wind (jibing).Cruising offers sailors a chance to enjoy their friends and family, apply their sailing and seamanship skills and quite literally expand their horizons. Like camping on a mountainside, cruising involves many elements, all of which are important to your safety, comfort and enjoyment.ContentsIntroduction to Cruising Basic Cruising Systems Preparation Your First Sail Improving Your Skills The Sailing Environment Health, Safety and Emergencies
