About this title

Synopsis

Having spent more than a dozen years conducting boat inspections, delivery captain Ed Mapes saw just how unsafe and ill prepared some boats were for sailing offshore. This led Mapes to develop his own system for inspecting, repairing and fitting out boats, which led to Ready to Sail, a guide to getting a boat and its crew ready for offshore passage-making. Mapes goes over the boat with a fine-toothed comb, pointing out things to look for, possible problems and how to go about fixing them. Detailed without overly relying on technical jargon, Ready to Sail provides a comprehensive but easy-to-follow road map to anyone who needs to inspect and fit out a boat for bluewater sailing. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated.
