Ready To Sail: A Captain's Guide to Boat Inspection and Repairs -- Preparations of Boat and Crew for Offshore Passagemaking


Overview

Licensed USCG Master Mariner and delivery captain Ed Mapes spent more than a dozen years conducting boat inspections. Seeing how ill-prepared many craft were for sailing offshore, Mapes developed his own system for inspecting, repairing and fitting out boats, which led to Ready to Sail. Detailed without overly relying on technical jargon, this book complements the recently published Further Offshore. Appendices include useful checklists.
