Adlard Coles, 2015. — 160 p.
This book is very different from any other sailing manual you will have come across. Not only do we present ground-breaking single-handed techniques for getting on and off berths (including tiny, wobbly French finger berths), picking up and dropping mooring buoys and box mooring, we also present the answer to man overboard retrieval with MOB Lifesavers from Duncan Wells (www.moblifesavers.com) and provide.
video links to show some of the described techniques in action.
