What is Practical Yacht Handling about?
Eric Tabarly was the world's most famous yachtsman, as widely respected as a seaman as for his racing successes in singlehanded, crewed and multihulled boats. He sailed various Pen Duicks and later trimaran Paul Ricard, all over the world - in transatlantic, transpacific and round the world races as well as more conventional events in Europe, The USA, and Australia and New Zealand. This book is distillation of his experience with many boats and recommendations for practical yacht seamanship - the handling of today's yachts, large and small, with modern rigs, sails and hull types. He also discusses the behavior of different designs, both traditional and modern, in terms of maneuvering and sea-keeping ability.
