Self-Sufficient Sailor

This book is what the title says. It is the distillation of what the Pardey's have learned in 150,000 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. In its first edition, this invaluable text has seen nine reprints. Now Lin and Larry have updated and revised the information to make it current and a valuable edition to any sailor's library right up to the millennium.

The Pardeys have voyaged more than 170,000 miles, including both east-about/west-about circumnavigations and have made passages on 20 different boats, ranging in size from self-built 24' 4" and 29' 6" cutters through modern racing boats to 85-foot classic schooners. They've authored numerous books,videos, and articles and host seminars throughout the year. They also keep an online newsletter at www.landlpardey.com.
