Download or read book Single Handed Cruising Classic Reprint written by Francis B. Cooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Single-Handed Cruising Let us pause for a moment to consider an average day's work in the course of a single-handed cruise round the coast. The yachtsman, awakened probably by the strong sunlight streaming through the cabin doors, turns out at, say, seven o'clock. He climbs on deck and takes down the riding light before going over board for a swim. After a brisk towelling he puts on the kettle to boil whilst he dresses. Then he makes himself a cup of tea and fills a pipe, and it may be remarked incidentally that no pipe tastes so sweet as that after a bathe in the early morning. The real business of the day commences with deck-scrubbing, to be followed by a little brass-cleaning. If he happento be jealous of the appearance of his craft he will also wipe over all bright teak fittings and the topsides with a chamois leather damped with fresh water. Before preparing breakfast the bedding and blankets will be put outside to air, the bedding on the cabin-top and the blankets hung over the boom. Then breakfast has to be prepared and eaten, and after the meal the things must be washed up and put away and the cabin swept out and tidied. Even then the preliminary work of the day is not quite completed, as there still remain the cabin lamp and riding light to clean and fill in readiness for the following night, for no methodical owner would leave them dirty. By the time he is ready to get under way the hands of the clock will probably point to half-past nine, or even ten, but if the weather be fine he may be able to take it easy for a few hours when clear of the anchorage. Should the wind be ahead he will have to stick at the helm, but when the yacht is reaching the tiller can often be lashed. It depends a good deal on the type of boat, however, whether she can be trusted to sail herself. If she has a fairly long straight keel a yacht will sail steadily on a reach for quite long periods. My old 7 -tonner Seabird was a craft of that type, and under such conditions she would sail herself for hours on end with scarcely any supervision. Given a boat of this type, fine summer weather, and a nice reaching breeze, and you have single-handed sailing in excelsz's. You may even lounge in a deck-chair with pipe and book, just casting a glance around every now and then to see that your course is clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coronet Memories: Log of Schooner-Yacht Coronet on Her Off-Shore Cruises From 1893 to 1899 IN October, '1893, Mr. Arthur Curtiss James became the pos sessor of the schooner yacht Coronet, and shortly after he and his wife invited a small party to accompany them on their first cruise to the West Indies. Mr. And Mrs. William M. Kings ley, Miss Maud Parsons, and Mr. Arthur W. Francis were the chosen few, and Monday, February 12th, found all with eager anticipation at Tebo's Wharf, Brooklyn, where the Coronet was moored, tuned for her trip in every particular. With pride, and it must be said with slight misgivings, too, we gathered on deck to take our farewell of the friends who had come to bid usbon voyage. The ocean seemed big and our boat small. We were all novices at deep sea yachting, and the great unknown lay before us. The weather was threatening; the outlook discouraging; a strong wind blew from the wrong quarter, and snowclouds menaced. However, after our friends departed, we set about stowing away our belongings and getting acquainted with our surroundings; at luncheon we were cheerful but fretting some what at the delay. Toward evening snow began to fall, and we turned in feeling like an arctic expedition, rather than one bound for sunny climes. We awoke in the morning to find the ground deep with snow, and Captain Crosby, our old sail ing master, dismayed at the dirty day, as he expressed it.
