Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are thinking of fitting an autopilot or windvane steering system to your boat but are baffled as to which is the most suitable, then this is the book for you. Peter Forthmann, a long-term expert on this subject, explains the difference between tiller, wheel and inboard autopilots, as well as the 12 windvane steering options available, and considers their suitability for various types of boat and sea conditions. Which self-steering systems are more suitable for cruising and which for racing? What are their limitations in terms of sea conditions and power consumption? What is yaw damping? Why are windvane steering systems unsuitable for ULDBs? How do you steer a catamaran without running into power consumption problems? Why is good sail trim so important for good self-steering? What self-steering provisions should you make when building a boat? Is DIY windvane gear construction still a feasible option? All these questions and many more are answered in this very comprehensive book, which concludes with a comparison of all the alternatives available and a list of manufacturers of practically every self-steering system made anywhere in the world. Peter Christian Forthmann has a unique knowledge of self-steering. Born in 1947, he learned to sail as soon as he learned to walk, growing up by the water in Hamburg. An engineer and a highly practical man, Peter Forthmann's creative contribution to the evolution of windvane steering systems is virtually unparalleled. lt is thanks in no small part to him that these systems are still thriving in the age of bits and bytes.

Book Synopsis Journey to the Ragged Islands by : Paul Trammell
Download or read book Journey to the Ragged Islands written by Paul Trammell and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bahamas is a nation with about one thousand islands and cays, many of which are remote and uninhabited. The unique geography of The Bahamas includes shallow banks and coral reefs as well as water over 4000 feet deep. Scattered about the banks are blue holes, vertical caves that often lead down to underwater cave systems. Blue holes are incredible places to freedive. Barrier reefs between the deep ocean and the islands often produce excellent surfing waves. The water is full of wildlife, including hundreds of species of tropical fish, sharks, rays, eels, turtles, and whales. I set out from Jacksonville, Florida, to explore some of the most remote islands in March and April of 2018 sailing alone in Sobrius, my 30' sailboat, a Dufour Arpege. I dove on coral reefs almost every day, as well as five or six blue holes. I surfed three point breaks, and I found much more adventure than I ever expected. I documented the journey in this, my third book, Journey to the Ragged Islands. I also am documenting the journey on my YouTube channel, Paul Trammell, in a series of videos. In addition to dramatic and immersive prose describing the joys and difficulties of the journey, I also include a lot of singlehanded-sailing technique, as well as descriptions of the islands I visited and GPS coordinates of all the places I dropped anchor. Islands I visited include Eleuthera, Cat Island, Long Island, the Jumentos Cays, the Ragged Islands, Rum Cay, Conception Island, and the Exuma Cays. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
