Outfitting: equipping a boat for performance, comfort, and safety
Year: 1988 Language: English Author: Keith ed. Lawrence Genre: Handbook Publisher: Belvoir Publications Edition: First ISBN: 978-0961313937 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 254 Description: Oufitting a boat is not inexpensive. Each of Outfitting's eight chapters covers an area that is at the same time both necessary, and necessarily expensive. And with the exception of the first few chapters, each covers an area that is applicable to all cruising and cruising/racing boats, both power and sail. With the benefit of the knowledge and experience of some of the country's most savvy sailors, you'll learn how to maximize your equipment-purchasing dollars, and how to avoid dozens of costly mistakes. From choosing sails and reefing/fuling equipment, to winches, running rigging, ground tackle and canvaswork, to selecting navigation instruments, electronics, and safety equipment, all the way to choosing the ship's tender; the editors of The Practical Sailor apply their special blend of wit and wisdom to the problems of outfitting. The joy of purchasing a new or used boat invariably lasts all the way through the outfitting stage, even if the boat budget expires beforehand. Equipping a Boat for Performance, Comfort, and Safety will help you evaluate the gear that may be on board a used boat, and choose the new equipment that in all likelihood will not be included with a new boat. Most of all, Outfitting will help you stretch your outfitting budget without compromising performance, comfort, and safety.
