Written by an RYA Yachtmaster examiner, this book is about helping the sailor keep their boat and crew out of trouble by anticipating problems and dealing with them before they become disasters. The book covers what to do if the engine fails in strong winds close to a rocky shore, if the rigging fails, if the tiller breaks, if fire breaks out on board, and if a sailor is caught out in a gale with a frightened crew.
