Harbour Manoeuvres Step by Step

См. также перевод книиги на русский язык Маневры в гавани. Шаг за шагом
Manoeuvring at close quarters is a tricky skill, but this unique step-by-step photographic guide shows helmsmen exactly where to position their boat and what action to apply to the wheel, tiller or throttle to get it there.
Learn how to:
- Berth in an offshore or an onshore wind
- Use a favourable or a contrary tide
- Cope with wind and tide acting together or against each other when berthing
- Moor and cast off under sail as well as power
- Berth at mooring posts or against a wall
- Spring off a pontoon
- Tow and be towed
Using bird’s eye photographs to show exactly what to do in every situation and for every step of the way, this unique handbook is like having an instructor on board to offer invaluable guidance. Filled with detailed practical advice, Harbour Manoeuvres Step-by-Step covers everything the helmsman needs in order to master this essential skill.
