Westview Sailing

Whether they are aboard a 35-footer, a sports runabout, a 75 foot flybridge superyacht, a displacement cruiser, or a 60 foot barge, this helpful guide demonstrates techniques that will be invaluable to all crews. It covers the close quarters procedures for getting off (and then back onto) a marina berth, anchoring, mooring to a buoy, mooring a barge alongside a river bank single-handed, even how to get a man in the water back on board when you are the only person on the boat and he is unable to help himself. It includes essential advice about fuel monitoring, engine care and maintenance, looking after batteries, and many more issues specific to motorboats. Stress-free Motorboating will be a godsend to all motorboaters, whether crossing the Channel, pottering along the coast, or cruising rivers and canals.
