Description: Wherever the authors of this book voyaged—the Atlantic, Caribbean, or
Pacific—they made a habit of noting down the little bits and large chunks of
emergency experience they encountered. Some of these problems and solutions were
their own, and some came to them from other yachtsmen gamming on the dock, in
bars, and in the cockpits of each other's boats rolling gently in foreign harbors.
Most of these tips, short cuts, makeshift procedures, alternative rigs, and the like,
came from firsthand experience. There were solutions that had to be found-ingenuity
sparked by the implacable urgency of crisis. Some other material has
been collected from secondary sources - mostly tables and reference materials that
an experienced sailor can also find in various other publications, but may not be
able to locate quickly in a crisis situation. That is the reason the publishers went to
extra expense to bind the hard covers of this book in a luminous material that glows
in the dark. (Take off the dust jacket and test it in a dark place, say in your boat's
bilges at 0300 hours with the floorboards floating.)
This book is organized so the information in it can be found and taken in quickly. It is
alphabetical by topic and thoroughly cross-referenced to related topics or alternative
terminology. All the crucial procedures and rigs are illustrated with clear diagrams that
use color to show the essential points quickly. In truth, of course, this is a book to browse
through when you are safely in harbor, at home, or lazing along on a broad reach—
before the crisis arises. The more you know about emergency seamanship the more
you will appreciate the depth of experience here (and, very possibly, will be tempted to
write to the authors suggesting even better rigs you invented or heard about than some
they chose to include.)
Additional info: This is a handbook which all and crews will want to possess. To get
full value from its pages will demand intensive study, thought, and
discussion during the off season so that the information it contains will
become absorbed, memorized; and ready for instant use in an
emergency. It is a book which is essential to have on board in case of
need, no matter how small the navigator's bookshelf.
