CRUISING: SAIL OR POWER BY PETER HEATON – PERFECT FOR THE KEEN YACHTMEN!

CRUISING: SAIL OR POWER BY PETER HEATON – PERFECT FOR THE KEEN YACHTMEN!

With all forms of sailing there is, apart from the excitement of the sport, an awareness of being in a new element. Even a weekend spent sailing induces a feeling of being “on holiday”; of escape from the work-a-day world. In no branch of sailing is this more pronounced than in cruising. This book is about cruising under sail or power.

In this book you can learn how to choose a boat & what she will cost you; & how to make a passage at sea, navigating & handling your boat under normal conditions. You can learn about the design & construction of a yacht; about marine engines & some of their habits. There is even a chapter on how to sail for the novice.

Sailing nowadays is a truly international sport, so you will find not only a selection of foreign yachts, but a whole chapter on foreign cruising – facilities from Lake Geneva to the West Indies from the Mediterranean to the North Sea. The domestic side is here too, for a cruising yacht is a mobile floating home. But it is much more than that, because cruising is a whole way of life & this book is written to try to help you to enjoy it to the fullest!
