When you’re releasing a snap shackle under load, on a cruising chute perhaps, keep your face averted and well clear of the action. Lines suddenly released from tension can turn themselves into a good facsimile of a circus ringmaster’s whip!

All the 200 Skipper's Tips

These are the best of the Skipper’s Tips from the pages of Yachting Monthly magazine. The book is perfect for dipping into while waiting for the bus, at the dentist’s, or in the ’small room’. In it, you’ll find hints on how to judge distance at sea, tell if the tide has turned, how to steer clear of rocks and ensure you come alongside in style - the sort of practical tips that don’t feature in the syllabus of yachting qualifications.
