Sailing is not always about following your dreams, discovering new places and being at one with the elements. It's consistently hands-on, offering a succession of small practical challenges often when they're least welcome. German author Fridtjof Gunkel has invited 365 yachtsmen to share a single handy hint. Next time you're hesitating as you approach a Baltic box berth, which the boat ahead appears to have gauged perfectly, look more closely and you may notice the neat strips of tape they’re discreetly lining up with the piles or the cable ties holding their rope loops open. Topics include comfort and cockpit, deck layouts, rigging, stowage and safety, galleys, workshops, winter storage, ‘This and That.’  A year-long celebration of human ingenuity. Release your inner bodger!
