this revision, she has also read every word and actively contributed a number of sections either as new text or as adaptations from her books or PassageMaker articles Hugo Carver has been with me for every chapter, giving knowledgeable reviews and sometimes even contributing wonderful insights, such as his “Comfort” piece in Chapter 15, Crossing Oceans Bill Parlatore, one of the true experts on passagemakers, has also read all the chapters and has added some of his own input in several Steve Dashew was particularly generous with his time and his vast collection of photos He spent two days with me early in the project answering questions and providing information Michael Kasten and Stephen Seaton have been particularly helpful in making sure my chapter on seaworthiness is correct and useful Both shared much information on design that has made the book better Michael has contributed several sidebars in various chapters and spent a great deal of time clarifying the ISO stability ratings in Appendix B Dr Don Bass, Professor at Memorial University, read and critiqued my chapter on roll attenuation strategies He also helped clarify the section on antiroll tanks Bob Jones of Ocean Marine Navigation was kind enough to read my chapter on weather Dr Ewin Thompson read the section on lightning and contributed a photo showing his strategy for reducing lightning damage Bob Senter, a Lugger and John Deere expert, has helped with a number of chapters including systems and maintenance He and Hugo Carver, a marine engineer and boatbuilder mentioned above, have been my experts in these technical matters Jim Leishman, author of the last edition, spent several hours providing insights and approaches to the book He was also helpful in getting information on the various Nordhavns used as examples in the book Some of his sections from the previous edition have been repeated and he has added some new insights for this edition Information from other cruisers makes this book different from past editions There were hundreds of people who shared their experiences—I can only name a few, but all are important You will see their names as you read through the chapters Milt Baker has been invaluable with his information and help on Nordhavn and other cruisers’ experiences He helped design and execute Appendix C, Real World Fuel Burn Throughout the book Milt has provided insights that have made the book much richer and more informative My friends Christi and Eric Grab have also been willing to share their experiences from their circumnavigation No matter what I asked, they produced You will find many stories from their voyages Scott Flanders also shared his very detailed and interesting logs with the readers One could write a whole book just about his experiences The chapter relating to past passagemakers needed information that is not readily available Joyce Gauthier was very helpful with Romsdals and Malahides, sharing her knowledge and photos generously Bernie Arthur graciously provided information and drawings for his Skookum line of passagemakers Richard Miller was particularly helpful with the section on Willards Larry Polster at Kadey-Krogen was 418 I Voyaging Under Power www.ebook3000.com helpful for everything relating to the Krogen boats Jenny Stern helped find photos of Nordhavns PassageMaker Magazine has been particularly helpful, making copies available of any back issues I needed for my research They also freely gave permission to use excerpts and photos from their articles Ocean Navigator has also allowed use of their articles throughout the book The builders and designers who submitted their work are also greatly appreciated They shared not only the specifications, but the lines for their designs—information that is not normally available Some were brave enough to furnish stability curves, but others were reluctant unless everyone could agree on a common method of calculation and reporting Perhaps the ISO method will eventually be adopted as a U.S standard Finally, my editor, Molly Mulhern, deserves a lot of credit for the final form of the book When I finished my research, I found much more information and photos for the revision than when it was originally conceived She was patient and adaptable in integrating these changes and making them work Acknowledgments I 419 Index Numbers in bold indicate pages with

deep-sea cruising under sail, there is little in print about long-range power voyaging Of course, many of the problems encountered at sea are similar in both cases But the power approach does differ from sail in several important ways that... fourth edition of Voyaging Under Power Anyone wanting to join, or at least understand the elements of the long-distance passagemaking lifestyle will find a great deal of knowledge that is realistic, useful, and timely Denis has done a superb job at pulling this all together and I salute him for the result I know the cruising community will as well I am sure you will keep Voyaging Under Power, Fourth Edition,... book about our cruising experiences, Voyaging to the Mediterranean Under Power You will get a chance to read a few excerpts later in the book When Mary was publishing her book, Bill Parlatore put her in touch with his friends at International Denis and Mary Umstot aboard Teka III Marine They asked Mary if she would be interested in doing the revision of Voyaging Under Power Mary said she didn’t feel competent... time, Jim Leishman was updating the earlier edition of Beebe’s classic, Voyaging Under Power That third edition was a fresh look at the concept of cruising long distances under power and included the worldly experiences of Jim and Suzy Sink on Salvation II, a Nordhavn 46 that Leishman’s company PAE built to demonstrate that a production powerboat could be safely voyaged around the world But past editions... motorboats was almost unheard of Let’s move now to Robert Beebe’s introduction to his vessel
