Ready to Sail

Having spent more than a dozen years conducting boat inspections, delivery captain Ed Mapes saw just how unsafe and ill-prepared some boats were for sailing offshore.

This led Mapes to develop his own system for inspecting, repairing and fitting out boats, which led to Ready to Sail, a guide to getting a boat and its crew ready for offshore passage-making.
Mapes goes over the boat with a fine-toothed comb, pointing out things to look for, possible problems and how to go about fixing them.

Detailed without overly relying on technical jargon, Ready to Sail provides a comprehensive but easy-to-follow road map to anyone who needs to inspect and fit out a boat for blue water sailing.
