Sailing with a small crew
Hooray, we can sail again! However, contact restrictions are still limiting the size of the team. Important tips now in PDF download

The start of the season has been delayed. The coronavirus pandemic has blocked sailing on the coasts and lakes for a long time. But now the restrictions have been eased. So: let's get out on the water. However, social distancing rules and contact restrictions still apply. Sailing is possible again, but initially only in single or double-handed mode.

For issue 11/2020, the YACHT editorial team has therefore summarised the most important and best tips for single and double-handed sailors as a guide. It's not just about manoeuvres, handling and safety on deck, but also about harbour manoeuvres that can be carried out well prepared by one or two people.

The comprehensive guide to sailing with a small crew is now available in YACHT, issue no. 11/2020. The magazine is available in the DK-Shop, or you can download the article directly via the link below.
