This book showcases Class A tall ships - the largest sailing ships. The photos were taken just outside of Halifax harbour at the start of the transatlantic race from Halifax to Belfast - last leg in Atlantic Challenge 2009. Part of the proceeds from this publication will go to support Class Afloat and other sail training programs for youth. Visit fpimages.com for more information.

GETTING HELP . If ever help is needed, for any reason, everyone aboard must know what to do. If there is another vessel close by , a red flare (see P.20) is quick and usually effective, but the yacht?s VHF radio is the normal way to summon help. Do not try to operate the radio unless the skipper tells you or he is out of action – buy any crew member should be able to call for help, and must do so. The instructions for sending a distress call should be alongside the radio, but this is the important part: 1. Use Channel 16 and high power 2. Press the button on the microphone to speak – then release it after speaking. If it is a real emergency – call MAYDAY– MAYDAY – MAYDAY 3. When someone answers, tell them: WHO you are – Your yacht?s name. WHERE you are – You position. You should have some idea, and the GPS will show your latitude and longitude. WHAT the problem is –...

Behind most myths of the sea, behind most people's sense of fear and respect for the ocean, lurks the shark—the uncontested lord of the deep. Each year scientists try to counter the bad publicity that sharks receive during beach season, and now there is agrowing general sense that these fish lead interesting lives beyond what their monstrous reputations would suggest. This guidebook is both a portable encyclopedia and a visually rich tribute to the shark. Complete with color photographs, drawings, graphic, and a series of species data cards, this volume presents the shark's history and biology in a thorough and un-intimidating way. Represented by over 350 known species and by others yet to be discovered, sharks are the result of an evolutionaryprocess that began about 250 million years ago. This guide helps us to appreciate them as highly specialized ocean predators that combine primitive character traits with behavior typical of superior vertebrates. Covering everything...

Bob Forsyth For me this has to be the book on traditional wooden-yacht construction to be published in over five decades. In some 518 salty and sawdust-laden pages there are lessons and new tricks for even the most horny-handed, time-served, and experienced exponent of this wonderful trade of ours. For the amateur interested in the more traditional side of things, this book will, I am sure, become their bible, and rightfully so. It is difficult to single out any one area of the book over the other, but I think that it would be worth buying for the appendices alone.
