Year: 1978 Language: english Author: John Mellor Genre: Handbook Edition: First ISBN: 978-0285623378 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 376 Description: Written as a follow-up by the same author to the very successful primer for beginners, SAILING CAN BE SIMPLE, this book by John Mellor takes the reader fully into the technicalities and joys of cruising proper. The author, in the friendly, direct manner that distinguished his first book, deals in depth with all the more advanced techniques of navigation, passagemaking, weather forecasting, mooring, seamanship and boathandling, that are required by the sailor - particularly the sailing family contemplating cruising. Planning, preparing and fitting out so as to ensure an enjoyable and troublefree cruise are dealt with very fully, and the author also discusses in depth such aspects of cruising as domestic arrangements (ashore and afloat); formalities with insurance, and customs; how to deal with possible emergencies (both prevention and cure); coping with bad weather; and how to operate and look after marine electronics. The book begins with the initial planning of the cruise and finishes with laying up for the winter. Yarns from the author's personal experiences are shared and analysed, not only to give the reader something of the feel and atmosphere of cruising, but to help him or her understand the decisions made, the navigation techniques employed, and how the weather w as predicted. CRUISING SAFE AND SIMPLE contains over 200 line drawings, charts and photographs, and a very comprehensive set of appendices for reference. The author, an experienced seaman and writer on sailing, is also an enthusiast, and his enthusiasm, is both infectious and reassuring.
