Many yachtsmen cut their sailing teeth on boats that were spartan and often difficult to sail. Trips to the foredeck in the face of a rising wind were part and parcel of a cruising holiday, and some still find this challenge exhilarating, but there are also some who would now like to utilize modern equipment to travel further and in greater safety. Modern yacht equipment offers a variety of devices which, with careful planning, can assist the short-handed family crew and make life afloat easier and safer. This book looks at each part of a yacht and suggests what can be done to improve the above- and below-deck environment. It also surveys recent products, many of which may be new to the reader.
