About The Capable Cruiser: Expanded And Revised
Product Description The Capable Cruiser is a logical extension of the Pardeys' The Self-Sufficient Sailor (978-0964603677), with more emphasis on seamanship underway, including careful analysis of extreme anchoring situations and solutions for mitigating them. Underlying each and every chapter is the warmth and encouragement that spurred Herb McCormick, former editor of "Cruising World" magazine, to label Lin and Larry Pardey "the enablers." This revised and expanded third edition of a cruising classic includes 10 completely new chapters with such advice as: 16 ways to encourage your lover (partner) to share your dream; strategies for turning sudden engine failure into a minor incident; choosing safety equipment and repairing rigging at sea. All of the original chapters have been updated to ensure that the information will be helpful for everyone who dreams of cruising-whether now or in the near future. Review When it comes to the subject of capable cruising; the Pardeys have literally and figuratively written the book on it. The lessons they've learned after tens of thousands of miles at sea are hard-earned, clearly imparted, and totally invaluable. --Herb McCormick, editor-at-large, Cruising World Magazine Not content to bask in the halo of their accomplishments, cruising s established experts Lin and Larry Pardey are still having fun sailing more than 40 years after launching Seraffyn and the many voyages that established their reputation as sailing leaders. Lin and Larry share what they are continuing to learn about boathandling, life aboard, and safety. The Capable Cruiser is but one of an excellent four-book series which evolves with updates to each book as the cruising lifestyle changes and as the Pardeys discover new tricks to share with fellow sailors. This book, like the others, has been extensively revised with new chapters and current information. It is part of a must-read series for serious sailors. The remainder of the kit includes The Self-Sufficient Sailor, The Cost-Conscious Cruiser, and The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew. Get the newest editions of each of these. Cruising has become more popular in recent decades, but there s still room for you to join the seagoing tribe of cruising sailors. With these books, Lin and Larry Pardey are encouraging you to join them and telling you how. Bon voyage! -- --Karen Larson, editor Good Old Boat magazine Lin and Larry have sailed more miles in more different types of boats than just about any couple in history.

If you are dreaming of sailing the seven seas aboard your own boat, then you need to read the Capable Cruiser both for the knowledge it imparts and the sensible seamanship that runs through every page. --George Day, editor, Blue Water Sailing, Cruising Quarterly and Cruising Compass Excellent!
