Liza and Andy Copeland are both lifelong sailors. They met at the 1971 Sunfish World Championships, were married aboard the classic yacht 'Ticonderoga', honeymooned on an Atlantic crossing, and have since sailed over 150,000 nautical miles together.
Both grew up in England and raced avidly from a young age in dinghy and ocean races. While Liza made her career in medical social work and educational psychology Andy was a fighter pilot and instructor in the Royal Navy, then settled in the Caribbean running a shipyard, chandlery and large charter yachts. After returning to Vancouver from their circumnavigation Andy resumed work with his yacht broking company while Liza has become a writer of articles and two previous books 'Just Cruising' and 'Still Cruising' and speaker on both boating and travel for a wide variety of organizations. They also organize and lead charter groups to exotic destinations around the world.
After a one-year cruise around North and Central America and further voyaging in the Mediterranean, West Africa, Brazil and the Caribbean Andy and Liza are completely up-to-date for the UPDATED third printing of CRUISING FOR COWARDS. The have now sailed over 114,000nm in their Beneteau 'Bagheera' and visited 114 countries.
Illustrator Harold Allanson now lives with his wife in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia having recently retired to become a fulltime artist and cruiser.
Are you intimidated by the thought of embracing long-distance cruising as a way of life? Anyone headed for distant horizons would benefit from picking the brains of circumnavigators. Liza and Andy Copeland provide you with theirs. CRUISING FOR COWARDS is not an encyclopedia of esoteric engineering data, equipment dissertations, and systems analysis. It is, instead, a highly readable guide to help long-distance cruisers equip and prepare their boats and then deal with everything from cockroaches to bureaucratic paperwork while en route. There are many courses to the cruising life, but Liza and Andy's enthusiasm and tactics, illustrated by lively accounts of their family's experiences and amusing cartoons, charts the course that led their family and many others successfully around the globe. Anyone who follows in their wake is unlikely to be disappointed. -- Steve Callahan, Associate Editor, 'Cruising World' Magazine, Author of 'Adrift'
For those contemplating long-term cruising this candid, humorous, fact-filled book leaves no stone unturned in preparing family, friends, the boat and you for success in pursuit of the ultimate dream. -- Doris Colgate, President, Offshore Sailing School, President, US National Women's Sailing Association
From Age and Anxieties to Water and Windvanes, even the boldest sailors will find their niggling questions answered. A great book to dip into, browse through, and be reasssured by. And Harold Allanson draws cartoons to die for. -- Anne Hammick, Rear Commodore, Ocean Cruising Club. Author of Atlantic and Mediterranean Cruising Guides and 'Cruising on a Budget'
