The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew

The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew has become the preferred resource for cruising and racing sailors—whether they're planning a weekend afloat or a round-the-world voyage.  This unique volume covers everything from outfitting a galley to organizing meals safely in rough weather; from controlling seasickness to creating the right conditions that ensure your crew stays well-rested and alert.


In this revised third edition, Lin Pardey has incorporated new information on nutrition, on waste disposal, and on current methods for handling finances, officialdom, and the paperwork involved in sailing to new countries.  New and expanded sections cover entertaining on board, feeding vegetarian crew, choosing clothing for sailing offshore, and incorporating modern technology in the galley.  Her unique guides to reprovisioning as you voyage and buying wines and liquors around the world have been expanded to include many off-the-beaten-track destinations now attracting intrepid voyagers.
