Abstract:

Nowadays, yachts are equipped with GPS, radar, electrical windlasses, chart plotters, bow thrusters, autopilot etc. Moreover, today's equipment is much more reliable, making long offshore passages possible without a proper knowledge of seamanship and navigation. However, the coastguards in many countries can confirm that more and more yachts require assistance, even when they should be able to reach harbor on their own.
