Chapter IX: ‘No anchor, no matter how good its proportions and shape may be, can be expected to hold a boat if the cable be allowed to fall in a heap on top of it.’
Chapter X: ‘There is probably no manoeuvre in the practice of seamanship that causes the novice so much misgiving as picking up moorings.’
Chapter XI: ‘Having brought up, the sails and gear must be stowed and everything made snug for the night.’
Chapter XII: ‘It is the fate of almost every yachtsman to get his craft ashore at some time or other, and to the novice it is an incident likely to occur fairly frequently.’
