Ed Mapes has transformed 30 years and 97,000 sea
miles of adventure into book form so that his readers can learn and apply that information to their own sailing.
These books help sailors select their own sailing vessels, add appropriate equipment, inspect for safety and provision.
They learn how to select and train crewmembers and plan sailing routes, and prepare for spending time on the water.
