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 voy-age. 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, on waste disposal,
and on current methods for handling finances,
officialdom, and the paperwork involved in sailing
to new coun-tries. New sections cover entertaining
on board, feeding vegetarian crew, choosing clothing
for sailing offshore, and incorporat-ing modern
technology in the galley. The unique guides to
reprovisioning as you voy-age 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 circumnavi-gations. 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 accom-plishments
and their contributions to the sport. They have
also been inducted into the Cruising World Hall
of Fame.
“The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew is,
quite sim-ply, 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

“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.”
Guernsey Evening Press, Channel
Islands
“This meaty book should help any sailor
preparing himself and his galley and cabins
for sea.”
Yachting, USA
