December 21, 2015
From this Canadian bookseller here are two books sure to make your holiday down time that much better.
“Stress-Free Sailing: Single and Short-Handed Techniques” and “PORTS Cruising Guide: Lake Ontario” are available online and
in the bricks and mortar version of the store at Queen’s Quay West in Toronto…
Stress-Free Sailing: Single and Short-Handed Techniques
Many common sailing scenarios contribute to sailing short-handed–from couples with young children to be supervised, to solo deliveries. Wells provides clever, original techniques and solutions for handling the range of essential operations on a boat when crew is scarce–from sail setting and reefing, to picking up mooring buoys in a variety of wind and tide situations, anchoring, berthing and leaving a pontoon shorthanded, picking up a man overboard, sailing in fog and heavy weather–and even going up the mast. Organized by activity, the book features step-by-step sequential photos showing exactly how to approach each situation and safely complete the task. Each section also includes a QR code, which can be scanned by a mobile phone or tablet to view video’s on the author’s website.

PORTS Cruising Guide: Lake Ontario
Freshly updated, PORTS is the most complete cruising guide to American and Canadian Lake Ontario destinations and also covers the Thousand Islands as far downriver as Prescott. Inside you’ll find sailing directions, town maps, GPS waypoints, full-colour aerial photographs, and hundreds of cruising tips. Plus there’s detailed information on anchorages, moorings, yacht clubs, shoreside facilities, and nearby restaurants, shopping, and provisioning outlets. An invaluable resource.
