Here's how to see the world from your boat. More and more people are taking off on their cruising boats for a few months or even a year. After they've tasted the cruising life, prepared and equipped their boats, and developed some experience, many cruisers begin to dream of voyaging farther--maybe even an around-the-world voyage. The Voyager's Handbook offers specific information for cruisers considering such a vast undertaking. An experienced circumnavigator, author Beth Leonard shows cruisers how to prepare their boat and themselves. She offers complete, up-to-date information on the latest gear and techniques and detaile, hard-earned advice from dozens of experienced sailors, about boats, crew, and costs as well as crucial but easily overlooked aspects of long-distance passagemaking such as health, safety, weather, provisions, fresh water, and foreign port protocol. With a balanced, down-to-earth approach, The Voyager's Handbook tells it like it is, for any cruiser considering that voyage of a lifetime.… (mais)

Essential guide to bluewaater cruising

“When other boats scurry back to their berths just ahead of the setting sun, you want to keep sailing. You want your tracks to be the only ones on a perfect sand beach of a deserted tropical island, you want to see the green flash, taste the coconut milk from the husk…” This excellent book takes the dream and walks the reader through the very many practical topics that need to be addressed in making it come true.

Beginning with finance and yacht selection and moving on through detailed equipment selection yacht preparation, managing life afloat, shorthanded sailing, dealing with foreign bureaucracy and keeping the faith, this excellent book deals effectively with blue water cruising in every detail. Presented in the style of a technical handbook with many clear illustrations and diagrams this book is well structured and beautifully indexed such that it not only makes a fascinating winter read but also a serious work of reference to take on board.

This book does what it says on the cover, “The essential guide to blue water cruising”. My copy is on order!
