solo sailing

Solo sailing is the practice of navigating and operating a sailboat alone, without crew assistance. It requires a high level of skill, responsibility, and awareness, as the sailor manages all aspects of the vessel, including steering, sail controls, navigation, and safety. This mode of sailing allows for personal challenge and independence, often demanding careful planning and mental alertness. While it offers a unique sense of freedom, it also involves risks, so solo sailors must be well-prepared and experienced to handle emergencies and changing weather conditions.
