After my husband and I decided to sell everything we own, buy a sailboat and sail around the world we were overwhelmed by the enormous learning curve. Sailing our new sailboat was one part of the equation but what baffled us, at the start, were the hundreds of maintenance tasks and cleaning routines.
Since 2014, we’ve learned an incredible amount about sailing, passage planning, anchoring, taking guests aboard, servicing and maintaining our systems (engine, generator, pumps, batteries, and on), cleaning schedules, provisioning, medical concerns and even how to entertain young children on board.
This book has therefore been created as a guide, or a blueprint, to help you mitigate your learning curve regarding a variety of standard tasks associated with sailing a sailboat.
Here are just some of the checklists you’ll find in this helpful resource for sailors or skippers:The start to finish of a sailing voyage with new crew/guestsPassage planning – preparation and planBoat briefingGuests and or crew duties and responsibilitiesAnchoring and mooring ballsDockingPacking and preparing for a sailing holidayMaintenance and service checksWintering a boatEvery time your boat is out of the waterSpare parts checklistCleaning and maintenance checklistsThe First Aid logThe First Aid KitsMedical question formMedical radio advice formsMedical observation checklistsTaking the dingy to landKeeping children occupied on a boatWhat about Seasickness?Meal provisioningAll those and moreGet your Checklists for Sailors – Passage Planning, Sailboat Maintenance, Cleaning, Medical, and More book today!
