Sailing in the dark

Anyone who has ever dreamed of the starry sky at night on the open sea will understand the indescribable appeal of night sailing. But anyone who has ever run aground on a sandbank just before entering a harbor at dusk or at night with an onshore wind also knows that sailing in the dark can be life-threatening under certain circumstances. No wonder that many sailors and motorboat drivers avoid night sailing as much as possible. Skippers who don't want to be restricted by the change of day in future will find out everything they need to know about safety, boating techniques, navigation and psychology when sailing at night. 112 pages, 63 color pictures, 43 line drawings, 1st edition, 2010
