Tom Cunliffe Knihy

Naše nakladatelství v současné době připravuje překlad knihy určené pro náročné čtenáře a pokročilé jachtaře. Jak generace nových jachtařů z poslední dekády zraje a stává se zkušenější, chceme jí nabídnout i odpovídající literaturu. Proto jsme sáhli ke spolupráci s proslulým anglickým nakladatelstvím Wiley Nautical a uzavřeli smlouvu na vydání vlajkové lodi jachtařské literatury - Expert Sailing Skills, která v minulém roce vyšla ve spolupráci Wiley Nautical a slavného jachtařského magazínu Yachting Monthly. Autorem knihy je známý jachtař, spisovatel a redaktor Tom Cunliffe, jehož články a knihy jsou velmi populární a v Anglii proslulé.

Jeden pohled na nadpisy kapitol v této knize poskytne orientační přehled o množství dovedností, které musí dobrý kapitán ovládat. Najdete tu základní informace, které - pokud je ovládnete a budete uplatňovat v praxi - vám umožní fungovat jako skipper plachetnice při plavbách příbřežních i na otevřeném moři, ve dne i v noci, za jakéhokoliv počasí. A také obsahuje všechny informace potřebné k úspěšnému vykonání kapitánských zkoušek.

Jachtařina nejsou jen vítr a plachty. Plavba na plachetnici vyžaduje od kapitána znát devatero řemesel, být psychologem, navigátorem, a třeba i chůvou. Moře přitom umí klást nástrahy a překážky, které je nutné překonávat vždy a za všech okolností. Právě pro tyto případy přináší Tom Cunliff ve své publikaci 200 tipů pro jachtaře, spoustu rad a nápadů, jak si jachtařské řemeslo ulehčit, jak plout chytře a bezpečně a jak být lepším námořníkem.

Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away.

Tom Cunliffe has crossed many oceans. If blue water cruising is your game, this is the book for you. Part 1 covers celestial navigation - fixing your position by sextant. This is an interesting and elegant method of knowing where you are - and may save your life some day. Even in this electronic age, it is a skill every skipper should possess. Part 2 looks at the world's weather systems and how to use them to your advantage. Hurricanes and typhoons are analysed - with the emphasis on avoiding them! But if a trade wind squall strikes or an approaching hurricane looks like slipping by your strategic defences, Cunliffe is on hand with remedial advice. Part 3 explains what you actually do out at sea. It covers gathering information, making plans, what to take, how to run watch systems, and the delight of making long passages.

After returning to her hometown to investigate a new murder, she now finds herself poised to become the killer's next victim. Jessie gazes up to the circle of night sky above her, the relentless raindrops landing on her face.
