Reeds Crew Handbook is the ideal primer or aide-memoire for new crew, and for anyone going on a flotilla or charter holiday, or sailing aboard a friend's yacht for the weekend.

Both a refresher for old hands and an ideal introduction for skippers to hand to new and aspiring crew, this guide gives them all the essential knowledge they need to undertake the tasks traditionally handled by crew aboard any size of yacht, including:

Steering (both with a tiller and a wheel)
Raising, dropping and reefing a sail
Boat handling (using tide, wind, etc)
Handling lines (throwing, coiling, lassoing, etc)
Tying up a boat on a pontoon and against a quay wall
Attaching bow and stern lines and springs
Handling an anchor
Using the radio
Basic first aid
Essential knots

Presented in bite-sized topics in a very accessible and undaunting fashion, and packed with colour illustrations to guide crew through each task, Reeds Crew Handbook is an invaluable primer for new crew before going to sea, and a handy pocket-sized reference for experienced crew when under sail.
