Self Sufficient Sailor
........for the beginner or experienced offshore cruising sailor who is contemplating a voyage, this book by one of Americas most famous sailing couples is a must. The valuable information includes ....practical, innovative ideas to better outfit any sailboat.  --Shirley Herd Deal,SeaMagazine, 1985I think it wisest to learn from other peoples experience, by reading books. I like Glenans Sailing book and also know an excellent American book written by Lin and Larry Pardey, theSelf Sufficient Sailor.  --Bernard Moitessier - Sailor, Author and Adventurer, 1989Nothing can keep you cruising longer, safer and on a lower budget than self-sufficiency, and no one knows more about the subject than Lin and Larry Pardey. They draw on 29 years of cruising to reveal how to handle your boat under sail and at anchor; how to build trust and teamwork in your crew, and how to fortify your boat with backup systems - advice that will keep you sailing onward instead of stuck in port waiting for repair parts.  --Tom Linskey -Editor,Sail Magazine, 1996We all have something to learn form this book, from authors who have put into practice a principle that applies to all of us.  --Denny Desoutter, Editor,Practical Boat Owner, 1997
