| boat anchor winch manual: Illustrated Seamanship Ivar Dedekam, 2017-04-04 Today, yachts are often equipped with electrical windlasses, autopilot, bow thrusters, etc. This equipment has also become much more reliable, making it possible to make long offshore passages without much knowledge of seamanship. However, as the coastguards in many countries can confirm, more and more yachts require assistance, even when they should be able to reach harbour on their own. In this book you will be shown the traditional techniques you should be familiar with – regarding rope handling, manoeuvring and anchoring – in order to make long or short passages safely. Each element is clearly explained alongside detailed illustrations, combining to make a straightforward and easy-to-follow guide. Although yacht gear is becoming more and more reliable, you can be almost sure that, sooner or later, it will fail or you will be out of electrical power to use it. Learning the traditional techniques may not only be necessary but is also both interesting and fun. Instead of waking up the entire harbour in the early hours with the noise of your bow thruster, you may, alternatively, use a spring line to get safely moored to or leave the pontoon quietly. Due to the design of the book, we have had to restrict the layout of the ebook to PDF style which may result in giving you a more restricted reading experience. For this reason, we would not recommend viewing it on very small screens. |

| boat anchor winch manual: Just Say Yes Bob McDonald, 2024-09-14 Bob McDonald, host of CBC Radio’s Quirks and Quarks, offers a personal and inspiring memoir of life-changing events in his early years through five decades in science journalism. Revered science reporter and radio host Bob McDonald has devoted a decades-long career to turning our attention away from everyday perspectives and outward to the vast, intricate wonders of our planet and universe. Now, in this revealing and captivating memoir, he looks within, offering an intimate view of the path that brought him from a blue-collar background to his long-standing role as Canada’s foremost explainer of all things scientific. It’s an engrossing and often jubilant story that allows McDonald to share powerful insights on overcoming fear of failure and tackling life-transforming challenges. Early on, he describes a childhood and youth plagued by difficulties in school that eventually convinced him to drop out of university. Yet, despite the academic obstacles, his love of science burned bright. Soon, through an innate stage sense and sheer enthusiasm, he landed a gig doing high-spirited demonstrations for the public at the Ontario Science Centre, which in turn led to self-produced TV spots. And as each hard-won, never-certain success built on the last, he arrived at the role that would make him a national figure: the witty, engaging, passionately curious host of the perennially popular CBC Radio show Quirks and Quarks, reporting from the frontiers of scientific exploration and rubbing elbows with such luminaries as Chris Hadfield, Buzz Aldrin and Stephen Hawking. Told with all of McDonald’s trademark pace and humour, Just Say Yes is bound to please, surprise and inspire his numerous fans in entirely new ways. |

| boat anchor winch manual: Damn the Torpedoes! Catherine Dook, 2003 Catherine Dook, one of the west coast's most entertaining writers, is back with a second collection of stories about liveaboard life. Nicknamed the Dooks of Hazard by their neighbours along the wharves, Catherine and her husband, John, have called the 44-foot sailboat, Inuksuk, home for four years now - and life isn't getting any calmer. One trip, the Dooks unwittingly sailed through a torpedo-testing range; later, their propeller shaft came apart as they approached a new wharf. Catherine gives more detail on the lives of her fellow dock dwellers, including Older-Than-Dirt Don, Ed the Bald and Stafford the Respectable, and gleefully describes the local pastimes such as interpreting the bird droppings on the decks.Just as warm and witty as her first collection of stories, Darling Call the Coast Guard, We're on Fire Again!, Catherine's new volume is a welcome addition to any nautical bookshelf. |
