Sailing crew series, Part I - Cruise preparation: Sailing without stress: How to arrive safely and relaxed

Over the next six issues, YACHT will be launching a new series on the topic of seamanship. In the first issue, Lasse Johannsen describes in ten chapters how stress can be avoided from the outset through conscious, prudent cruise planning - for example, by always having a plan B ready, finding out about alternative harbours or anchoring options in case all the jetties are occupied at the intended destination.

Here are the individual aspects, each supplemented by tried and tested practical tips and recommended reading for all those who want to deepen their knowledge and seamanship skills:

1. general preparation

2. entry and exit

3. small crew

4. navigation

5. catering

6. night drive

7. poor visibility

8. heavy weather

9. at anchor

10. sailing with small children

The report covers no less than 14 pages and is the cover story of the new YACHT 6/2022, which is available from today in well-stocked newsagents or directly from the Delius Klasing shop ( click here! ).
