Inhaltsangabe
The position of First Mate is often less than glamorous, especially when serving with a strong-willed skipper who has more enthusiasm than organisational skills. After 20 years of sailing with her own captain, the author shares the hard-won secrets of keeping both boat and crew shipshape. From packing and planning for needs aboard to enjoying life in harbour or under way, this book aims to streamline tasks and maximize efficiency, safety and comfort, while above all leaving plenty of time for pleasure. It includes a discussion on food and storage issues, moving and sleeping comfortably below decks, keeping the cabin warm/cool, counteracting boat odour, mould and mildew and dealing with rubbish, laundry and marine toilets, how to protect against the elements, avoid injury and deal with the logistics of sailing, from planning, navigation and weather to carrying out tasks on deck. In addition there is a complete section devoted to food, including original recipes.
