Magazine Description
In this issue
Our July/August issue features a special section on Sails and Sailhandling including a sailmaker's usage and maintenance tips for long-lasting cruising sails. Also in the sails and sail handling section, a story from a live aboard circumnavigator describing his experience with sail-handling gear no a voyaging boat. In this issue's ocean voyaging story, we look at a man overboard incident from two sides: the man who went overboard and the woman steering the cruising cat when it happened. Their different takes on the mishap and the need for offshore safety make for lively reading. Plus, a report from voyagers in Cuba, a story on the misadventures of two cruisers learning how to fish, a visit to Nicaragua to the site of work on a sea level canal to rival the Panama Canal, voyager tracking with a social connection, an emergency water maker, ultra compact sight reduction, extending your cruising age with some clever tips by a pair of circumnavigators and more.
