Little Ship Handling: Motor Vessels

By Rantzen, Mannas Joel

0 - Default Title
Description
This is the most comprehensive manual on motor yacht handling yet provided for the cruising man. Written with his special requirements in mind, by one who was for 30 years the Hon. Navigation Instructor to the Little Ship Club, it provides the master of such a vessel with all that he needs to know - in both practice and theory - for the confident and competent handling of his ship. In the well-illustrated, clearly written text, chapters on rudder, propeller and wind forces and effects are followed by a detailed description of the techniques of little motor ship handling in almost every type of situation likely to be encountered. Special chapters cover anchor work, heavy weather, stranding, man overboard, handling alongside and anti-collision handling; and there is an illustrated appendix on ropework. Also included is a chapter on the manoeuvring of little ships with bow thrust, also dealing with steadying sail and stabilisers.
