Year: 1977 Language: english Author: Hal Roth Genre: Handbook Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc Edition: First ISBN: 9780393032024 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 358 Description: Hal Roth is a guy that has done it ....not just talked about it. His perspective about seamanship, equipment and safety are very valuable if you are going to attempt a Blue Water crossing. I will say that the book is a little dated in some areas .....remember he did a lot of sailing in the 70's. Things have progressed rapidly over the last 40 years with GPS, Sails, boat construction and basic equipment even though sailors still face the same safety issues like anchoring in a strange port. The perspective is valuable because it allows you to see the history of sailing and what real sailors had to go through during long passages. It will give you a real appreciation for the technology available today. It's a great book.... enjoy it! About Author: Hal Roth (1927 – October 18, 2008)[1] was an American sailor and author. In 1971 he was awarded the Blue Water Medal of the Cruising Club of America. Even though neither he nor his wife, Margaret was a sailor, their friends shared a love of sailing and introduced them to the sport in 1962. The couple chartered a boat in the West Indies where they learned a great deal from the captain. Later, they chartered another boat in Greece, then took sailing lessons in Scotland. After purchasing a home in Sausalito in 1964, they took a trip (1966) north along the west coast and purchased a fiberglass Spencer 35, built in Vancouver, British Columbia and designed by John Brandlmayr in Seattle, Washington. They named her Whisper, and sailed her home to California. The Roths began sailing on their own in 1966 and completed several voyages in Whisper. Destinations included Japan, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, Canadian islands, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Cape Horn, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Mediterranean, and Canary Islands. In 1978, they relocated to Maine. Roth published hundreds of articles in his lifetime. Although, his book publications appear to be his dominate body of work and document the couple's voyages and growing knowledge of sailing. The 1972 account of their first circumnavigation of the Pacific Basin (1967-8) resulted in the publication Two on a Big Ocean. The Blue Water Medal of the Cruising Club of America was awarded to the Hal Roth, and Margaret was noted as the sole crew, for this voyage. After 50,000 Miles (1977) describes technical aspects of sailing.
