The complete guide to modern seamanship Vagnon

'This manual is intended for sailors and other sheet feeders,' says Cé,dric Chauvaud, founder of the Chien noir company, in his introduction to the book, which he co-wrote with Elise Bakhoum, another talented rigger. He adds that it's 'a pure and simple manual of seamanship, with modern fibers, enough to equip a boat without any fuss or frills'.
We couldn't do better than quote the author's straightforward words to present this practical guide, aimed at experienced sailors. In addition to the usual knots, it includes 13 tutorials for mastering advanced techniques ranging from overbinding to textile shackles, splices and loops.
Each tutorial is illustrated extensively and clearly, to facilitate learning and guide readers towards a skill that we know is absolutely essential on board.
