Educational Reading

Bill Gladstone: Captain's Quick Guides Sail Trim And Rig Tuning (Captain's Quick Guides)
This is a great guide to have on board and is going to be part of our June 5th Hands On Sail Trim Course. The guide is water proof - a practical feature for use on a boat!
Nigel Calder: Marine Diesel Engines
This is a terrific reference book to have on board your boat.
Paul Gill, Jr. MD: The Waterlover's Guide to Marine Medicine
"Inexpensive, concise and compact, it's my first pick for the cruising couple of family. Its only limitation (and its salvation) is that is only discusses what you are most likely to encounter." - Dan Carlin MD Find this book at: www.abebooks.com
David Werner: Where There is No Doctor
"The principle strengths of the book are its illistrations and simple clear language. This is an excellant resource for crews with young children and is also a good home-school special interest book." - Dan Carlin MD
Dept. of Transport, HMSA Publications: The Ship Captain's Medical Guide
'This book was originally published in 1868 and has withstood the test of time. It is not so much of an entertaining read but if you are going to get only one book this is it' -Dan Carlin MD Find this book at: www.abebooks.com
