About the book
If she is navigated with forethought and care, she will make passage safely and on time. If she is tacked with skill in confined waters, she will be placed where her skipper wants her and will avoid trouble. If the cruising yacht is anchored well, her crew will sleep soundly when the wind comes up at night—through the cries and chaos heard from the improperly anchored yacht across the way. The well-prepared cruiser sailed with precision meets emergencies less frequently and deals with them better than does the ill-prepared. She is a happy cruiser.
