Year: 1998 Language: english Author: Linda and Steve Dashew Genre: Encyclopedia Publisher: Beowulf , Inc. Edition: CD-ROM Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 1232 Description: The Dashews' tome works in three distinct ways. First, it's a fine reference work from which to get a good background on every conceivable aspect of cruising boats from the bottom of the keel to the top of the mast. Everything from the compressive yields of rudder bearings to bunk dimensions to price comparisons of different hull materials. Secondly, there is sensible advice on a world of topics of interest to cruisers — such as the pros and cons of different styles and types of boats, rigs, anchors, and such; on the possibilities of making money while cruising; on how to get along with locals, and so forth. Thirdly, many of the encyclopedia's topics are backed with anecdotal stories from the Dashews' seemingly unlimited number of cruising friends and acquaintances. As such, The Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia makes for enjoyable bedtime reading for nontechnical sailors, too... Additional info: Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia on CD-ROM version 2.1 This CD-ROM is designed to complement the printed book. You can use your computer to search for specific topics, navigate quickly through the book, print pages, and zoom in on any of the thousands of color illustrations that you may want to study in more detail.
