It introduces you to many unknowns: terra firma is left behind, the boat is propelled by something you can't see (the wind), there are ropes everywhere and a whole new vocabulary opens up! Your skipper will brief you on the key things you need to know, but this book is a great opportunity to learn a bit beforehand which will give you the basic knowledge to work the boat, be safe, have fun... and be asked back for more! Written in a friendly and approachable way, it assumes no nautical knowledge and uses diagrams and photographs to demystify the art of sailing. Devised to be read by new crew before they arrive at the boat, it is also great to keep on board as a quick and easy reference guide. Ideal for skippers to give to anyone joining them on board for the first time. As soon as a person steps aboard they are crewing: drawn into casting off, hoisting sails, winching and even steering. It's impossible to cover everything in your briefing, so any knowledge they can gain beforehand is a blessing and will make your yacht a happier, safer place for everyone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Davison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912621355\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912621354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernhurst Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 3.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Tim Davison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989255553279,"sku":"9781912621354","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a91f30ff-f6b9-40e5-918e-1fd19dc7543d.jpg?v=1683298462","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-crews-pocketbook-tim-davison-9781912621354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
