Dropping anchor, sleeping soundly and setting sail after retrieving the anchor Manoeuvres and mooring in port After a pleasant sail, whether it be a few miles or hundreds of miles, the most eagerly awaited – yet also the most delicate – moment is the arrival, when you decide whether to anchor in the roadstead or head into port. Anchoring, perhaps in a beautiful secluded bay, offers that priceless feeling of freedom in close contact with nature.

The author addresses beginners in particular, as every good sailor must first and foremost know how to handle themselves correctly in the roadstead and in port, providing those practical tips and ‘tricks of the trade’ that come only from long experience at sea.

Many boaters recognise that the most critical moment is the mooring manoeuvre in port, where you may have to squeeze into a tight berth amongst other boats.

The aim of this manual is to answer the most common questions and to guide the reader step by step through the learning of the fundamental concepts and rules for safely mooring and unmooring sailing and motor boats.

It also examines the variables that contribute to making the manoeuvre more or less challenging: currents, wind, tides and weather conditions.

The text is accompanied by a comprehensive set of colour illustrations that provide an immediate explanation of the manoeuvre.

The sea in winter can offer colours and experiences rarely found in other seasons. Sailing feels more intimate, and even areas that are usually very busy regain a sense of tranquillity and a slower pace, allowing you to appreciate your time on board all the more.

Of course, sailing out of season safely and enjoyably requires a few extra precautions compared to what you are used to in summer. The author covers all the aspects you need to consider before setting sail in winter: proper preparation of the boat, with particular attention to insulation and heating.

The ideal handbook for anyone wishing to pursue a career as a hostess or steward on sailing or motor yachts, whether privately owned or charter vessels.

The author offers practical advice covering all aspects of life on board: welcoming and assisting guests, preparing the boat, managing the galley, cleaning and maintaining the living areas, safety and first aid, and assisting with manoeuvres, to name but a few.

A practical guide that reveals the secrets of organisation and conduct to ensure you remain professional at all times and responsive to passengers’ varying habits and the preferences of different skippers, enabling you to tackle the small and large daily challenges with confidence.

This handbook contains all the official quizzes – both basic and sailing-specific – organised by topic in line with the sequence of Miriam Lettori’s theory textbook *Sailing and Motorboat Licence*. This allows students to approach their studies in a logical and progressive manner, whilst being able to easily refer back to specific pages for further study and revision. This method is also invaluable for those using other theory textbooks, as it enables them to master the entire ministerial syllabus by following a rational and structured approach.

This handbook contains the 50 questions from the official exam papers in force from 13 May 2022 at all examination centres – the Motor Vehicle Agency and the Maritime Authority – for the boat licence valid within 12 miles of the coast.

The first part is introductory for those approaching the subject for the first time and uses illustrations to introduce the five questions included in each exam question.

The exam questions cover the three official sectors of Chart 5/D of the Italian Navy Hydrographic Institute:

the horizontal NW sector, the vertical NW sector, and the SE sector.

Bad weather is a constant threat that most of us hope to avoid and do our best to steer clear of, but even the most careful study of the weather forecast cannot completely rule out the possibility of encountering a storm. The aim of this short, easy-to-read book is to provide everyone, regardless of their sailing ambitions, with a solid grounding. In this way, whether we find ourselves facing force 6 gales along the coast or towering waves on the open sea, we will be fully aware of the options available to us to manage the situation safely.

This illustrated guide provides the key to discovering and understanding the world of sailing in a simple and straightforward way.

Finally, the key factors to consider when choosing and installing a radar system on board a boat are outlined.

Following on from the training programme on the use of maritime radio communication systems outlined in the previous edition of the GMDSS-SRC Handbook: Guide to the Examination for Recreational Craft, this fourth edition also includes guidance on obtaining the Short Range Certificate in accordance with the RYA (Royal Yachting Association) standards in force in the United Kingdom, which can now also be obtained in Italy and is valid internationally. It is worth noting that, whilst in Italy the GMDSS certificate is compulsory only if a VHF-DSC radio is on board, in other countries this certificate is compulsory even if a VHF radio without DSC functionality is used.

In 1977, Éric Tabarly asked Titouan Lamazou, who was sailing aboard the Pen Duick VI at the time, to illustrate the manual on manoeuvres that he had been writing for some time. The skipper and the crewman then set

to work, whilst sailing through the Marquesas, Tuamotu, Gambier and Austral Islands, all the way to Tahiti.

The result is this Guide to Manoeuvres, first published in France in 1978. A true compendium of the immense experience acquired by Éric Tabarly over a lifetime dedicated to sailing.

Titouan Lamazou’s illustrations enrich the text and bring life on board to life.
