... Read more
Follow the sailing adventures of Robert Bériault, when at the age of 57, he joins a sailing club for lessons and soon becomes an instructor. He dreams of sailing around the world and adopts the strategy of going at it one ocean at a time. Part travelogue and part sailing primer, Sailor Without a Boat tells the true story of how Robert chases after his dream. Candid, humorous advice is interspersed with hilarious tales from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as he recounts the idiosyncrasies of his skippers and fellow sailors. Among his many adventures, Robert crews for a reckless captain who pushes boat and crew beyond safety limits during a 3600-kilometre offshore passage. Searching the Internet for a transatlantic crossing, he almost sets out to sea with a Captain Bligh before jumping ship. Enjoying such places as the Caribbean and Cuba’s stunningly beautiful Gardens of the Queen, Robert is boarded by gun-toting pirates; almost experiences an exploding yacht at sea; is embroiled in steamy soap operas; is medevaced by horse from the Guatemalan jungle; and fights 30-foot seas when crossing the Atlantic with Canada’s sailing legend Derek Hatfield. All this, without ever having bought a boat!

... Read more
An estimated 4.1 million people in the United States participate in recreational sailing. Yet the large library of sailing literature leaves many of them high and dry. On one side are technical guides for America’s Cup boat-builders; on the other, simplistic books for weekend sailors with little interest in science. In Float Your Boat! professional and amateur boaters alike will find intelligent and understandable answers to such questions as: What were the key innovations that made sailboats more efficient? How do you increase the speed of a boat? How do sailboats travel into the wind? Why are so many explanations of sailing so wrong? Sailing enthusiast and physicist Mark Denny first traces the evolution of the sailing craft, from prehistoric coracles made of animal skins and antlers to the sailboat’s reinvention as a pleasure craft during the Industrial Revolution. He then identifies specific sailing phenomena—how wind drives modern Bermuda sloops, how torque determines stability, why hull speed exists—and provides the key physics principles behind them. Whether you are an inquisitive landlubber who has never set foot in a boat, a casual weekend sailor, or an old salt who lives for the sea, Float Your Boat! is an accessible guide to the physics of sailing.

... Read more
Let s say you re a typical low-paid working stiff. You ve sailed small boats all your life, you ve saved a little money--you re finally ready for a real cruising boat. You drop in on Tadd, your friendly neighborhood yacht broker, who is more than happy to sell you that brand-new Trickledown 32 for only $90,000, plus a few optional extras like anchors, sails, cushions, a compass, instruments--stuff like that; say, $115,000 ready to sail. One hundred and fifteen thousand . . . dollars ? Not to worry, says Tadd. Only 20% down and 10 years of easy payments and you re off into the sunset. Let s see, that s $23,000 down and, at 10% interest, only $1,215.79 per month--plus insurance of course. Send me a postcard from Tahiti. How much per month? That s half my salary! Don t you have anything in my price range? Tadd glances conspicuously at his Rolex, sighing, and points to a characterless Clorox jog with a spindly mast--a hyperthyroid daysailer with bunks for the seven dwarfs; NOT what you had in mind! And then you see it, in the back of the yard, varnish hanging in strips off weather-beaten trim, rigging frayed, sails ripped and stained, dank interior with dangling wires and scurrying anonymous inhabitants. But underneath all the squalor you see the lines of a real cruising boat--a sturdy hull with a sprightly sheer from the pen of a Philip Rhodes or a Tom Gillmer--a fiberglass boat built back when craftsmanship still meant something. You remember when you bought your house--it looked a lot like this boat, and you and your all-thumbs husband managed to breathe life into it over time, painting, papering, spackling-- lots of spackling. This boat has possibilities. How much? you ask. You re kidding, right? says Tadd, flicking a bit of cobweb from his spotless Breton Reds. Take it for, say, $8,000? Sold. Well, now you ve got it home, but Bob and Norm aren t there every weekend to help guide you through this restoration. Where to turn? Turn to This Old Boat. Don Casey, co-author of Sensible Cruising: The Thoreau Approach, assumes you know nothing--not even how to use tools--and leads you methodically and good-naturedly through every step of turning a cast-off fiberglass boat into a real show-stopper, including the simplest and most comlete explanation yet of sailmaking--the sailor s darkest and most expensive art. Casey s step-by-step drawings guide you through a simple project--laying up a fiberglass instrument case, for example--then show you how to apply those skills to something more ambitious--like building a new hatch. With this book and the best buyer s market in boating history, you can send Tadd that postcard from Tahiti--and have money to spare. Can t afford that brand-new boat? Take advantage of the best buyer s market in boating history. Turn a rundown production boat into a first-class yacht with This Old Boat. Whether you are skilled or unskilled, whether you like sail or powerboats, here is everything you need to: Find the right boat at the right price Map out a logical, affordable renovation plan Work with fiberglass--everything from minor cosmetics to major structural repairs Renovate rigging, winches, engines, and other mechanical systems Work with wood, canvas, and plastic Change the interior from a cramped, dingy dormitory to a light, spacious livable home Repair andmodernize the electrical, plumbing, and refrigeration systems Add a stunning, mirror-like finish Make your own dodgers, sail covers, and SAILS--and much more! Casey s intelligent, practical advice covers just about everything, and his style is just what the doctor ordered for anyone daft enough to want to fix up an old boat. -- Southern Boating A great book for anyone on the water. -- Maine Coastal News

... Read more
Surf Shades are the only sunglasses to offer a one year guarantee against accidental loss. They were originally designed to withstand the brutal conditions of surfing; so they must be tough. The guarantee is seldom invoked because Surf Shades stay on very well and the removable head strap is extremely secure. If the surf sunglasses do pop over your head they are connected with the surf leash that has a easy break away clip for those "just in case" type of emergencies. Designed for the conditions of the ocean, Surf Shades have a padded nose and eyebrows for impact protection which is critical for surfing and other water sports. Hydrophobic lens coatings are imperative for ALL water sports and much preferable to normal sunglasses lenses. Hydrophobic lenses are not perfect and they do not completely clear of water every time you dunk your Surf Shades, but they do much better than ordinary lenses. Hydrophobic surfaces are also anti-static so dust and other dirtying particles are not attracted to them and tend to just fall right off. When they do get dusty and dirty they clean easier than lenses that do not have hydrophobic coatings. Available options: Black or silver frames Grey, brown and yellow lenses Polarized ($69) or non-polarized ($39)

... Read more
Fits: 17' to 20'L Pontoon Boats (beam width to 96") - Tarp Color: Grey The Importance Of The Hurricane Pontoon Boat Cover Any vehicle, regardless of what type whether it be a car, boat, or motorcycle should be taken care of. The pontoon tarps not only classify as consumer goods but fall under the durable goods category. Thus it is important that these items be protected and cared for, especially when they are in storage or kept outdoors. Amongst these items for outside storage is the hurricane pontoon boat cover. This type of tarp is made of tough polyester canvas. The material in this cover is much more resilient than ordinary cotton canvas. Therefore this is the kind of canvas that is recommended for your pontoon boat. Although most people use the hurricane pontoon boat tarps for rainy or wet seasons, it is still useful for it to be used in all weather situations. By using these covers even in the dry season, one can avoid scratches and discolorations to paint on the boat hull and other parts. However, some considerations should be taken into account prior to purchasing a cover for your boat. The first consideration is that it must be made from a resilient tarp material. The tarp must be made from a polyester type canvas. The material must also be able to resist dirt, stains and ultraviolet damage from the sun apart from its being able to repel water. The second consideration is that the tarp must have a bottom hem elastic cord. This should be readily adjustable and likewise must be fitted with an adjustable transom flap. This will ensure a snug fit when placing onto your boat. And finally the last two considerations should be price and warranty. The average price for a good pontoon boat tarps ranges around 200 to less than five hundred dollars. Likewise in view of this, there must be a reasonably good warranty for your purchase. An average warranty given for this item is around three to four years.
