Capable Cruiser 3rd Edition

Capable Cruiser 3rd Edition

This revised and expanded third edition of a cruising classic includes 9 completely new chapters with such advice as: sixteen ways to encourage your lover (partner) to share your dream; strategies for turning sudden engine failure into a minor incident; choosing safety equipment; repairing rigging at sea. All of the original chapters have been updated and many are expanded to ensure that the information will be helpful for everyone who dreams of cruisingâ€”whether now or soon.

The Capable Cruiser is a logical extension of the Pardeysâ€™ The Self-Sufficient Sailor, 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, editor-at-large for Cruising World, to label Lin and Larry Pardey â€œthe enablers.â€

Reviewerâ€™s comments:

You need to read the third edition of Capable Cruiser â€“ both for the knowledge it imparts and the sensible seamanship that runs through every page. â€“ George Day, editor, Blue Water Sailing,

Excellent! Capable Cruiser is just one part of a must-read series for serious sailors.
Karen Larson - Founding Editor, Good Old Boat magazine

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 â€“ Cruising World editor-at-large

The Capable Cruiser is must reading for anyone who would like to take their yacht across the waters to high adventure anywhere around the globe.â€”Midwest Book Review

Nothing can keep you cruising longer, safer and on a lower budget than self-sufficiency, and no one knows more about it than the Pardeys.â€”Tom Linskey, Sail Magazine

Sound guidance, experience allied to common sense . . . it makes a good guide.â€”Practical Boat Owner
