Further Offshore - A Practical Guide for Sailors

Informationen zum Autor By Ed Mapes Klappentext ...there is much in here to interest the inexperienced potential skipper/owner of a planned ocean or long distance passage. (Mapes) covers everything from choice of vessel, fitting out, voyage planning, victualling, boat handling, crew selection, health, etc. There is a particularly large section on weather and forecasting... I would strongly recommend it for anyone planning a long voyage for the first time as skipper or crew as one very experienced skipper's way of doing things. Zusammenfassung Ed Mapes takes us from practical and psychological preparation to equipping your boat! navigation skills! heavy weather and eventual landfall. In addition! he covers topics such as the safety and education of children aboard! how to deal with medical problems and what to expect when the coastguards board your vessel.
