Single-handed sailing
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 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.
== Terminology ==
In sailing, a hand is a member of a ship's crew.〔''The Sailor's Word-Book'', Admiral W.H. Smyth, p. 364; Conway Maritime Press, UK, 1991. ISBN 0-85177-972-7〕〔(''Nautical Glossary'' ), from Marine Waypoints.〕 "Single-handed" therefore means with a crew of one, i.e., only one person on the vessel. The term "single-handed" has been adopted into more general English, meaning "done without help from others"; however, it has also come to mean literally "with one hand".〔(''Compact Oxford English Dictionary'' ), from Ask Oxford.〕
In the sailing community, the term "crewed" (or sometimes "fully-crewed") is used to mean sailing with a crew of more than one, in order to distinguish events permitting larger crews from their single-handed equivalents (even though a solo sailor is also correctly referred to as a vessel's crew). Hence, for example, "Bruno Peyron ... has taken part in almost all the large crewed and single-handed sailing events since the 80's."〔(''Stena Sovcomflot Sailing Team'' ), from Nokia Oops Cup.〕
In contrast, the term "double-handed" is used to refer to sailing with two persons on board. There are a number of double-handed offshore races, and some races feature a double-handed category. In addition, many long distance passages and cruises are done by couples, who routinely sail double-handed.
