Single-handed sailing

A boat sails by her self-steering system off the coast of California.
A sailor in strong winds off Nicaragua remains tethered to the boat for safety as he reefs his sails.

The sport and practice of single-handed sailing or solo sailing is sailing with only one crewmember (i.e., only one person on board the vessel). The term usually refers to ocean and long-distance sailing and is used in competitive sailing and among Cruisers. The term is not applied to situations where it would be typical for a single crew to operate a vessel such as a short sail in a dinghy but rather is used to indicate that a single crew is responsible for multiple duties which would typically be assigned to multiple crew.
