Description: Safety Preparations for Cruising begins with a discussion of general preparations and proceeds to comprehensively cover safety material related to every facet of cruising. Topics include the structural integrity of the vessel and its potential for breakdowns, basic skills, dangerous situations and more. Each chapter begins with a real-life experience introducing the topic covered and concludes with a valuable checklist summarizing the discussion and measuring strengths and weaknesses in ourselves and our vessels. This primer on safety is essential for anyone fitting out or preparing for offshore cruising.
Most sailors go to sea without prior knowledge of the cruising lifestyle and its demands. This can result in conditions ranging from the merely inefficient to the truly tragic. In Safety Preparations For Cruising, Jeremy Hood utilizes his years of personal experience to teach safety measures and prudent seamanship to would-be cruisers so they can set out on a vessel designed or altered with their well-being in mind, aware of potential risks, familiar with possible solutions, and possessing increased self-reliance with which to minimize or resolve problems. The many and essential topics include "preparing yourself"; hull and deck; spars and rigging; engines, transmissions and propellers; steering; safety below deck; navigation; communications; safety harnesses and PFDs; heavy weather; "man overboard"; taking on water; abandoning ship; ground tackle; going aground; medical emergencies; fire; spares and repairs; and "before you set off". No sea-going novice one should set off without first studying Safety Preparations For Cruising. -- Midwest Book Review
No sea-going novice should set off without first studying Safety Preparations for Cruising. --The Midwest Book Review, May 1997
