Description
The ultimate practical reference for all sailors planning an ocean passage.
Ocean sailing is a thrilling leap beyond coastal cruising, and this essential guide by Paul Heiney helps sailors understand what that leap truly involves. Whether you're wondering where to go, how much it will cost, or what life at sea will be like, Ocean Sailing offers answers drawn from the real-world experiences of seasoned cruisers. Through first-hand accounts and expert advice, Paul Heiney explores the joys and challenges of long-distance sailing, including budgeting, safety, maintenance, weather, first aid, and staying connected while offshore.
This fully revised edition includes new sections on climate change and shifting weather patterns, geopolitical considerations for route planning, satellite communications, and mental preparation for departure. Expanded chapters on finances and working abroad, as well as tip boxes, colour diagrams and photographs, make this book a comprehensive resource for anyone preparing to cross oceans.
With its blend of inspiration and practical know-how, it's the definitive companion for turning your ocean sailing dream into reality.
