Description

Dinghy cruising is a magical way of exploring new coastlines and
experiencing nature at close quarters. For families or solo sailors
alike it offers a memorable adventure at an affordable cost, and with
the freedom to pull up at any time, on any beach or riverbank that
looks appealing.
In this book Margaret Dye shares the knowledge gained from many years'
experience to help others enjoy cruising in a dinghy
to the full. With practical advice on how to prepare and equip the boat
and tips on how best to cruise in a dinghy, this book will be a boon to
anyone - of any age - who longs for the freedom to go where they like
when they like on the water.
Newly updated to reflect recent developments in kit, equipment and
techniques, this edition also includes a chapter on dinghy cruising for
those with disabilities.
