The Sailboat Technical Guide: A Systematic and Practical Approach - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Selling or buying a sailboat?

Are you relatively new to sailing and wondering what all this boat equipment is, and how it all works?

Are you preparing for a long voyage and need to be absolutely sure that everything works properly?

The Norwegian sailor Petter Mowinckel discovered his greatest passion at the age of eleven and has since 1969 sailed everything from dinghies to offshore yachts. He holds an MSc in Naval Architecture from the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH).
He has designed and built boats; he has competed in several World Championships and has crossed oceans under sail. Petter now owns his fifteenth boat and has personally carried out most maintenance and technical work on all of them.

He now wishes to give something back, sharing the knowledge and joy gained through a rich lifetime of sailing.

This book systematically reviews the technical systems of a sailboat, including their advantages and disadvantages. Each chapter also highlights issues you should pay particular attention to.

At the end of the book, you'll find a practical checklist you can use for your own project – whether you are buying a boat, upgrading your current one, or preparing for extended cruising.

When you trust your boat, sailing becomes even more enjoyable.
