Overview
“An articulate guide with plenty of tips gleaned from experience.” (Yachting Monthly) “A very practical introduction to short-handed cruising under sail, proving that there is much more to short-handed sailing than a lack of crew… provides well-tried practical advice… an excellent volume for the skipper and any of his potential short-handed crew.” (Afloat Magazine) “In this excellent book, Alastair Buchan passes on the lessons of his hard-won experience gained short- and single-handed sailing… Short-Handed Sailing is a well compiled and splendidly illustrated book that shows you everything you need to know about handling a boat alone or short-handed.” (Afloat) “A very informative and practical book… packed full of useful details. All topics are well presented and written in an easy-to-read style with lots of illustrations and photos. I recommend this book to all boat owners and skippers.” (Little Ship Club) “Buchan speaks with a good deal of authority… and covers both sailing single-handed and short-handed with a good deal of expertise. There are also handy diagrams throughout.” (Sailing Today)
While relatively few cruise single-handed, many sail short-handed. It may be a couple sailing together or a skipper with a novice crew - he may have lots of people onboard but, in terms of the sailing, he is probably short-handed. They soon discover that there is so much more to short-handed sailing than a lack of crew.
