This is a practical handbook for the growing body of people wishing to travel by crewing on ocean-going yachts. Written by two long-term ocean travellers, it covers the growing development in worldwide yachting and includes a seasonal calender to show the migration of yachts around the world. There is advice on how to find a crew position, what to expect from skippers and what crew members have to do. The book is equally useful for crew and skippers.
