Skip Novak on Sailing: Words of Wisdom from 50 Years Afloat

Description:

Skip Novak is revered around the world for his sailing adventures. In this book he brings together the sum of his knowledge and the wisdom of his experience so you can follow in his wake – or create your own.

Drawing from his longstanding column for Yachting World, Skip has curated, edited and updated his original missives alongside brand new material to make a collection that is both thought-provokingly bold and invaluably practical. Skip is an ardent proponent of self-reliance, and his hard-won advice will challenge you to improve your seamanship, focusing on skill, experience and problem-solving knowledge.

While covering lots of traditional skills, such as celestial navigation, anchoring and docking, Skip also looks to the future, tackling innovative technologies that can make life afloat easier. Skip has a particular interest in helping new and younger sailors heed the clarion call of adventure he truly believes the ocean provides, and this interest shines through in his thoughtful guidance.

Steeped in personal experience, but designed to be as inspirational as it is practical,
Skip Novak on Sailing will help you become a better sailor, no matter your level of experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable and engaging book of stories of a life at sea.

A.C. · 1 June 2025

Skip Novak is a wonderfully experienced sailor and in this book he shares many of his experiences. He is a delightful raconteur in person and in writing. Such an enjoyable read. I have given it as a present to several sailing friends and they have said how much they have enjoyed it.

1.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't bother

A.A.C. · 3 May 2025

This book is just a complication of Skip's columns in YW. I was very disappointed.

Get to know the skipper!

A mix of anecdotes peripheral to the business of sailing. Some passages will be of interest to anyone wanting to sail the higher/lower latitudes. Still worth the read if you want to know more about the mindset of this "legendary" skipper.
