This text has been developed
to provide a firm foundation for men and women working toward earning US Coast
Guard licenses to operate auxiliary-powered sailing yachts and vessels. Initially created as a course curriculum for classes in sail
vessel operations at the Maine Maritime Academy, this
revised and updated second edition contains new material on bridge resource
management, risk assessment, safety aloft, and more. Designed to accompany the
sailor as a study guide and point of reference, it calls attention to the
myriad constant and critical elements of professional yacht and vessel
management in both theory and practice. Subjects covered include seamanship
aboard sailing vessels, relevant hydrodynamic and aerodynamic theory, basic and
advanced sailing maneuvers, planning and managing for crew and vessel safety,
meteorology for sailors, heavy-weather sailing, emergencies at sea, and vessel
administration as related to Coast Guard rules and regulations.
