The first of a four-book series, it is full of the sights, sounds and people of Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and the islands of the Atlantic Ocean. Read how Lin and Larry built their wooden 24-foot engineless cutter and set off hoping for a few months of true freedom in spite of limited finances. Share their excitement as they learn how to earn as they go and sail ever further afield. These two persuasive sailor\/writers set out convincing arguments to get you chasing your dream sooner than you think –be it exploring the world under sail or adventuring towards any new goal. A favorite of sailors and armchair sailors for over four decades, this book is more than a first-rate tale and love story; it is also a carefully thought-out guide to living aboard a small boat, with fun and good seamanship as guiding principles. This tribute edition, created by Lin to honor Larry, includes a new foreword, updated appendices and a color insert showing Seraffyn during her circumnavigation and afterwards, under the guardianship of subsequent owners – which proves that Larry really did build her to last for 50 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pc-book-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lin \u0026amp; Larry Pardey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x 9 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\/Distributor:\u003c\/strong\u003e L \u0026amp; L Pardey Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781929214150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"L \u0026 L Pardey Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67857230135541,"sku":"PDB100","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/2198\/0149\/files\/PDB100_104.jpg?v=1793864763"},{"product_id":"storm-tactics-cape-horn-tested-dvd","title":"Storm Tactics: Cape Horn Tested (DVD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pardeys have been called the \"enablers\".

You will see their storm sails set and working in winds of 70 knots. The Pardey's use this visually explicit medium to demonstrate the technical details of storm tactics for both modern and classic boats, and they show how you can adapt their ideas for your own use. Learn ways to prepare your boat and your crew to eliminate fear and face heavy weather with a plan; learn how and when to use the sailor's safety valve-heaving-to-with our without a para-anchor. The Pardeys discuss in detail gear and equipment, plus special sails for heavy weather.

From their own experience and with information from  interviews with dozens of other voyaging parents, they discuss caring for an infant on board, handling the changing needs of children as they grow, education options, ensuring parents find the private time to keep their relationships in tune, and helping children make the eventual transition back to shore life. Added to the authors’ voices are sidebars from other cruising parents with specialized information on subjects as diverse as handling special diets and how your children can keep in touch with friends around the world. A unique bonus chapter, written by a dozen former cruising kids looks at the long-term effects of breaking away from shoreside normalcy.

So write Lin and Larry Pardey in this, the third edition of their highly regarded \u003cem\u003eStorm Tactics Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e. As in the first two editions of this book, they describe their concerns about the tendency of modern sailors to discard the classic methods used to bring sailing vessels of all sizes from vast clipper ships to tiny yachts through amazingly strong winds and heavy seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is only one storm tactic that has the ability to sap the power of breaking seas, they explain. With clear and concise diagrams, they proceed to show how heaving-to works and how even the most modern of yachts can be made to heave-to, whether with only sail power or with the assistance of a sea anchor. A discussion of the many ways heaving-to can be useful at sea as a way to help the crew keep well rested, to effect repairs, to steady a vessel should outside assistance ever be necessary will convince even those who plan to run before their imagined ultimate storm that heaving-to is still a must know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA series of user-friendly checklists will help sailors from the moment they start looking for their perfect offshore boat, through outfitting, and as they encounter their first storms at sea. Highly readable stories of the Pardeys encounters with storms, and of experiences related by several other modern sailors, help illustrate and expand the points made in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince writing the previous edition of \u003cem\u003eStorm Tactics Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e, Lin and Larry have voyaged an additional 35,000 miles. This has taken them as far north as Norway, twice across the Atlantic, south to Argentina, into the Pacific, around Cape Horn against the prevailing winds, and then on a circuit of the North Pacific. With insights gained from these recent voyages, they have fully revised and expanded this text by more than 40 percent, including nine completely new chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew material includes: Lessons from Cape Horn An interview with the late Sir Peter Blake, on storm survival and heaving-to Heaving-to using a Galerider on 55-foot Morgan s Cloud Adding rudder protection stops Discussions on avoiding chafe, building and using storm staysails, choosing storm gear, deploying para-anchors, avoiding the worst areas of cyclonic storms, and many more have been expanded to answer many questions posed by readers and seminar attendees. Mario Vittone, a U. S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer for 14 years, in an unsolicited testimony, wrote: I have been on several rescues (and heard of many more) that would have been completely unnecessary if the sailboat captains aboard would have practiced the skills taught by Lin and Larry Pardey. Not knowing how to heave-to in bad weather is as inexcusable as not knowing red, right, return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevious editions of \u003cem\u003eStorm Tactics Handbook\u003c\/em\u003e have sold more than 32,000 copies worldwide.

The book begins with the boat launch and the transition from their cherished \u003ci\u003eSeraffyn\u003c\/i\u003e, and includes details from outfitting, provisioning and final detailing during the early months Lin and Larry spent getting to know their new bluewater cruiser, as well as moments of melancholy as they let go of attachments to their first trusty boat that took them around the world. The story takes the reader through those initial cautious 1000 coastal miles between California and the Sea of Cortez, discussing everything from sail handling to dinghy racing to the relative luxuries of bicycles and a custom-built sitztub.  It reveals surprising and pleasant engagements with other sailors and locals along the Baja peninsula.

Certainly, anyone contemplating, or preparing for, off shore passages would want to read and then keep this volume aboard. A 50 day passage from Japan to Victoria, Ca ada in 1979 provides Lin a base for discussing everything from menus to clothing, to choosing a fresh chicken, to dealing with port officials, to preventing sea sickness, to buying liquor abroad as well as the best material for underwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLin and Larry have been full time cruisers and professional sailors for some 40 plus years, it s all that they do. They ve learned a lot and a great deal of their wisdom appears in this book, where specific situations mix with general guidelines. As a bonus, Lin writes very well. She s able to seamlessly tie one subject to the next in a style that seems like great conversation rather than reading a how-to-do-it text. By structuring the flow of information in and around the process of food preparation while experiencing the joys and travails of a very long passage, she provides the reader with a good cruising tale enhanced with a thousand useful tips. Tips vary from entertaining aboard to coping with money transfers. There are great tips on provisioning in foreign ports as well as a strong suggestion to only go a short distance before anchoring following a farewell party.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent chapters will help insure your crew stays healthy and well rested. Others deal with creating an ideal galley. From big ideas to small tips, all are presented logically and with useful illustrations. Learn why credit cards are safer to use than debit cards, how to keep eggs for up to 3 months without refrigeration. How you can determine which engine parts are likely to fail, which plastic material makes the best water jugs, how Lin outsmarted weevils and learned to bake fresh bread. Find out which galley layout works best offshore. Rain water catchers how to make the best kind. On board trash collection and dealing with \"black water\" in boats lacking holding tanks. Which cutlery and dinnerware holds up best. Standing watches, getting rest and using Dramamine as a sleeping aid. The book covers everything from the value of \"a little black cocktail party dress\" to the safety of double sinks. Finally, intertwined in the cornucopia of wisdom is meal after nourishing meal sure to lift the spirits of a weary crew. Those recipes and cooking tips alone make for a book of great value. All the other info is just priceless gravy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fourth edition of The Care and Feed of Sailing Crew incorporates ideas and information gathered by Lin and Larry during their more recent voyages through the Line Islands and south through the Pacific to New Zealand. The majority of chapters have been expanded to include the most up-to-date information on sources, supplies and new technology. Additional recipes and cooking ideas for use on cruising boats of all sizes have been added to ensure this valuable reference source continues to be relevant for all sailors who venture away from home, be it for a weekend cruise to nearby islands or a voyage around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pc-book-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lin Pardey with Larry Pardey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\/Distributor:\u003c\/strong\u003e L \u0026amp; L Pardey Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781929214341\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"L \u0026 L Pardey Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67857350689013,"sku":"PDB017","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/2198\/0149\/files\/PDB017_104.jpg?v=1793863186"},{"product_id":"all-5-pardey-videos-dvd-set","title":"All 5 Pardey Videos (DVD Set)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll 5 Pardey DVD's for a special price\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Storm Tactics\u003cbr\u003e- Cruising has no limits\u003cbr\u003e- Get Ready to Cruise\u003cbr\u003e- Get Ready to Cross Oceans\u003cbr\u003e- Cost Control while you cruise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/99071642\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/99071642\"\u003ePardey Off-Shore Sailing 5-Video Pack\u003c\/a\u003e from \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/sailflix\"\u003eSailFlix\u003c\/a\u003e on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\"\u003eVimeo\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bundle collects five offshore sailing DVDs from Lin and Larry Pardey, the long-distance cruising couple known for sailing small engineless boats around the world.

But when Lin and Larry set eyes on the abandoned stone cottage at the top of a rutted, dusty lane, it was love at first sight.

Their marriage would be tested, too, working side-by-side, 24\/7.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLife in the canyon would prove daunting, gritty, and dangerous, and a tougher bargain in the end than what they'd signed up for.

That is why we all have something to learn from this book—from authors who have put into practice a principle that applies to us all, but who have done it for longer and farther than most of us will ever do.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDenny Desoutter, Editor,\u003cem\u003e Practical Boat Owner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThe Self-Sufficient Sailor\u003c\/em\u003e is an excellent book full of seakeeping, boatkeeping, and seamanship hints laced with cruising philosophy. If you are going to sea, say the Pardeys, you must learn to operate with little or no outside help…One of the prerequisites is to learn to sail before you go cruising. I couldn’t agree more. The Pardeys write that if you learn how to not fall overboard and to keep your boat in good shape, then you very seldom will need safety harnesses. I agree, though many modern sailors do not. Frequently one sees boats that are equipped with all kinds of safety gear . . .the crews of many of those boats could well need that safety equipment, because the money they spent on equipment should have been spent on making their boats seaworthy. This book should be read by everyone who is doing serious cruising.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDonald M.

The emphasis that the Pardeys place on simplicity and self-sufficiency makes especially good sense when read at sea; their observations on the drawbacks of cruising large and complicated boats was proven true by the experiences related to me by the sailors here in Bermuda. Just as the Pardeys predict, the small cruisers had uneventful, if not smooth, passages without crew problems—even in rough weather. The larger boats, sailing on the same ocean at the same time, told tales of ‘vicious’ storms, failed engines, pumps, radios, and electronic equipment, and scared and unhappy crew. Cruising isn’t easy, but the Pardeys make excellent recommendations. They offer sound advice on a wide variety of subjects.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDanny Green,\u003cem\u003e Cruising World\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull of ideas and wisdom on how to sail in comfort and safety without large cash outlays. Every sailor, whether or not they plan to sail over the horizon, should read the Pardeys. This book is what the title says. It is the distillation of what the Pardey’s have learned in 200,000 miles of sailing on board their two cutters, Seraffyn and Taleisin, and on scores of other boats they have delivered or raced. Lin and Larry tell how they have sailed in comfort and safety without large cash outlay– on a pay-as-you-earn-as-you-go plan and by simplifying.  Denny de Soutter, Practic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pc-book-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lin \u0026amp; Larry Pardey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\/Distributor:\u003c\/strong\u003e L \u0026amp; L Pardey Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781929214785\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"L \u0026 L Pardey Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67857380671733,"sku":"PDB027","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/2198\/0149\/files\/PDB027_104.jpg?v=1793846953"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/2198\/0149\/collections\/lin-and-larry-pardey-books-and-dvds-banner.jpg?v=1793152573","url":"https:\/\/paracay.com\/collections\/lin-and-larry-pardey-books-and-dvds.oembed","provider":"Paradise Cay Publications, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
