Practical Preparation for Offshore Emergencies

Ed Mapes sets out practical guidance for handling emergencies at sea, from crisis decision-making to the kind of on-the-spot repairs that can keep a boat and crew safe when something fails far from shore. The focus is on preparation and problem-solving rather than theory.

Published by Paradise Cay Publications, a specialist in offshore sailing titles, the book is aimed at skippers and crew planning passages beyond easy reach of help, where self-sufficiency matters most.

A worthwhile addition to the library of any offshore sailor who wants a clear head start on managing things going wrong.
