There is much more to short-handed sailing than a lack of crew. It demands a different approach, a new mindset. The crew's limited physical resources must be watched over with the same attention to detail as a miser guarding his hoard.

Not only does this mean that the skipper must carry a much greater workload but there are fewer people, sometime no-one at all, to consult during the decision making process. Under these circumstances fatigue can be as dangerous as heavy weather; it creeps up on you, often unnoticed, destroying your morale and ability to make rational decisions.

In this practical book the author passes on the lessons of his hard won experience gained short- and single-handed sailing in coastal, offshore and ocean waters.
