Practical Seamanship - Essential Skills for the Modern Sailor

To be commercially successful and to reach port safely, you had to have a mixture of skill and luck. Master and crew learned to cope with whatever nature threw at themâ??or they didnâ??t make it. The skills learned over centuries of seafaring were passed from generation to generation. Today when we head out the odds are much more in our favor. We know where we are with precision, in all types of inclement weather. We have strong boats and rigs, furling systems to make short-handed sail changes and reefing simple, and for the most part excellent information about the areas in which we sail. Yet there are times where the skills that were second nature to the men in this photograph are essential, even to modern sailors.
