“The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew is, quite
simply, a great book, one that wraps plenty of
solid, hard-earned practical advice within the pages
of a good old-fashioned tale of high-seas adventure.
For any off-shore sailor, I couldn't recommend it more highly...” Herb
McCormick, Editor, Cruising World
“A veritable gold
mine.”
Richard Buffum, Los Angeles Times
“The Care and
Feeding of Sailing Crew is one of my very favorite
books (in the Pardey collection and among cruising
books overall).” Karen Larson, Editor, Good
Old Boat
“The best
reference for serious sailors. Not only does
cruising authority Lin Pardey share her invaluable
provisioning insights, she amusingly conveys what it
is like to live aboard and cook at sea.”
Barbara Marrett, Contributing Editor, Cruising
World
“Not just another
cookery book ....tips and tackle for rough weather
cooking and indeed almost any-thing else which could
turn up in round-the-world sailing.” Lloyds List,
UK
“This meaty book
should help any sailor preparing himself and his
galley and cabins for sea.” Yachting, USA |

The Care and Feeding of
Sailing Crew
NEW!
Third edition,
revised and expanded.
The Care and Feeding of Sailing
Crew has become the preferred resource for cruising and
racing sailors—whether they’re planning a weekend afloat or
a round-the-world voyage. This unique volume covers
everything from outfitting a galley to organizing meals
safely in rough weather; from controlling seasickness to
creating the right conditions for a well-rested crew.
This third edition has been
expanded to incorporate new information on nutrition, waste
disposal, and current methods for handling finances,
officialdom, and the paperwork involved in sailing to new
countries. New sections cover entertaining on board, feeding
vegetarian crew, choosing clothing for sailing offshore, and
incorporating modern technology in the galley. The book's
unique guides to re-provisioning as you voyage and buying
wines and liquors around the world have been expanded to
include many off-the-beaten track destinations now
attracting intrepid voyagers.
Lin has been caring for sailing
crews since 1965. With Larry, she has accumulated sea miles
that equal almost seven circumnavigations. As a couple, they
have delivered boats and cared for hired crew, raced under
sail, and worked on commercial fishing boats.
Since the publication of the second
edition of Care and Feeding, Lin and Larry have
voyaged an additional 35,000 miles, including an
east-to-west rounding of Cape Horn. The Ocean Cruising Club,
Seven Seas Cruising Association, and the Royal Oceanic
Society have all recognized the Pardeys with awards
acknowledging their sailing accomplishments and their
contributions to the sport. They have also been inducted
into the Cruising World Hall of Fame.
“A fine, useful,
tightly organized manual with a sense of anecdotal
immediacy... I enjoyed The Care and Feeding, all 4,548
miles of it.”
Patience Wales, Editor Emeritus, Sail magazine
“...Should be in the
library of any sailor planning to set sail and should be
referred to regularly while fit-ting- out the vessel,
while planning menus and when on passage.”
Neil Rusch, Editor, South African Yachting
“A distillation of the
best information on that vital subject—eating well at
sea.”
