This Preparation Guide discusses a range of pertinent issues from establishing budgets and buying equipment to preventative maintenance and heavy weather sailing. The text works closely with the ORC category 1 requirements and includes many comments from other cruisers who are 'out there doing it'. This book also outlines what training courses to attend before leaving, what gear to take, provisioning strategy and, equally important, how to stow it all. If you wish to bridge the gap between fantasy and reality then your bluewater cruise must be effectively managed.
