Year: 1979 Language: english Author: Maurice R Cloughley Genre: Textbook Publisher: David McKay Company, Inc. Edition: First ISBN: 0-679-51453-8 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 392 Description: This is the remarkable story of Maurice and Katie Cloughley's five-year, round-the-world voyage in the 34-foot ketch Nanook—the kind of cruise that every yachtsman dreams about. The Cloughleys sailed the world's great cruising grounds and visited the world's most exotic ports: through the Mediterranean, where they spent their first winter; the Caribbean; the idyllic islands of the South Pacific; New Zealand; New Guinea, and westward across the Indian Ocean. Each leg of the voyage was an adventure, and each passage is described with wit and good humor. A World to the West is packed with practical information — a sailor's sharing of knowledge about short-handed cruising. The appendices cover Route Planning, Heavy Weather Handling, and Provisioning and Finance. They are invaluable guides for any bluewater sailor. The Cloughleys cruised on a shoestring in a simple but able boat. A World to the West is their tale of fascinating peoples and places, and the joys and frustrations of long and lonely ocean passages.
