More enjoyment of your ship, more comfort and safer sailing.
Short Handed Sailing
You, sitting comfortably in the cockpit under the sprayhood, reefing the mainsail with a cup of coffee beside you — how good is that?
​
Where you used to have more than enough people on board during sailing trips, lately there have been fewer or you sometimes sail solo. However, all actions must be performed on board. Even if your own motor skills are declining, setting up your ship for Short Handed Sailing is the solution. This may involve permanent adjustments or temporary adjustments that you make when necessary.​
​
Sailing a yacht with few crew members is called Short-Handed Sailing.
​
For an occasional outing, a suitable sailing area, pleasant conditions, and conservative sail handling are usually enough.
When you start sailing more seriously, adjustments to your deck layout and running rigging become necessary.
Even something as simple as a Lazy Jack system can make a big difference. It adds calm and extra safety on board, especially for younger or less physically strong crew members.
How many crew members do you want on board to sail safely and happily?
