O knihe
You cannot buy a reliable boat. Rather you create a reliable boat based on your knowledge and skill. This book shows you how to apply methods based on sound principles gleaned from a lifetime of boating, boat repair and 25+ years of designing ship systems for the U.S. Navy. You can make your boat as reliable as a Navy Destroyer if you have the knowledge, resources and the skill. There is no end to this journey.
According to the author, " A reliable boat is as much a mindset as it is analysis, planning and configuration".
In it you'll learn:
- Why you should make your boat as reliable as possible
- Examples of disasters that could have been avoided and how to avoid them yourself
- What are the correct Captain's objectives
- A "Systems Approach" to a reliable boat. Make a real trade off study of your boat
- What happens in an emergency and why you need a plan
- One striking fact that NIST found during a study of the 9/11 Twin Towers disaster that reveals how your brain works in unfamiliar, emergency situations
- How to prevent an emergency; Fire, Flood, loss of capability, MOB
- Is a first mate really necessary?
- How to make emergency repairs
- Why and which systems should you monitor on your boat?
- What to do if you lose an engine or a prop
- What to do if you run aground
- Why two $75 bilge pumps are better than one $150 bilge pump.
And much more.
