Sail Confidently and Calmly in All Conditions.
Sail a small keelboat up to twenty-five feet with ease in all nearshore
conditions with this unique book--and start a foundation on which you
can build a sailing résumé that will give you the credentials to charter
and skipper a boat in the Caribbean--or anywhere in the world. Grant
Headifen and the experts at NauticEd have certified thousands of sailors
for bareboat skippering in some of the most alluring seas of the world.
NauticEd's resume-building system is accepted by yacht charter companies
worldwide.
Skippering a Small Keelboat offers everything you need to know--and
with its unique, scannable QR codes providing clear instructional videos
and animations, it is the next best thing to being on the water with an
instructor at your side. It brings the book to life. The only thing
missing is the water.
Complete, concise, and based on Grant Headifen's grasp of how to teach
sailing quickly and comprehensively, here are lessons on weather and sea
conditions, rigging, anchoring, reading tides and currents, rules of the
nautical road, safe and confident dockingand so much more.
Here is what one of NauticEd's students had to say:
"I've sailed for the last thirty-plus years and have a fifty-ton
master's credential. I'm constantly learning something new or forgotten
from NauticEd."
Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud
to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in
sports--books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and

every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a
national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects
that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose
work might not otherwise find a home.
