About Us

All sailors should be able to sail their boats shorthanded with confidence:

  • Cruising couples
  • Young families
  • Solo Racers
  • Solo Cruisers
  • Double handed Racers
  • The "on-watch" in a long distance transit
  • Crews hampered by sea sickness/injury

    • This site is dedicated to bringing you stories, articles, and information of interest, with a focus on helping you manage the risks of sailing shorthanded. Our hope is that you will become a more confident and independent sailor, use your boat more often, and just have FUN!

    Sailing Shorthanded is not simply a resource: it's a sailing community. Use the forms provided to submit articles, information, and event announcements, and use the forums to ask questions and share ideas. We welcome your input and participation.
