Prepare for Your Ocean Voyage

Gain practical insights and firsthand advice from seasoned sailors in Paul Heiney's comprehensive guide to offshore cruising.

Ocean Sailing: The Offshore Cruising Experience with Real-life Practical Advice by Paul Heiney is a comprehensive guide that prepares sailors for ocean passages by sharing first-hand experiences and practical insights from seasoned cruisers. Drawing on wisdom from members of the Royal Cruising Club, the Cruising Club of America, and the Ocean Cruising Club, this book addresses topics ranging from safety and boat preparation to budgeting and communication. 

Embark on Your Ocean Sailing Adventure

Heiney delves into essential aspects of ocean cruising, including selecting the right boat, managing onboard life, maintaining health and safety, and handling equipment breakdowns. The book also explores the experiences of sailing with children, considerations for older sailors, and the emotional journey of returning to land after extended voyages.

Critical Acclaim for 'Ocean Sailing'

"Well-written, well-illustrated and beautifully presented... an A-Z of ocean sailing... It clearly comes with the benefit of huge experience and a great deal of careful thought, as you would expect from a Commodore of the Royal Cruising Club." – Flying Fish 

"The book I had been looking for... you feel as though you are sitting in a cockpit sharing a sundowner with friends, exchanging ideas and experiences. If you take a little from each story, you will find yourself well-armed with ideas and that much closer to your dream of crossing oceans." – Cruising Club of America

"Ocean Sailing will prepare you for an ocean passage by painting a picture of what ocean sailing is really like, through the experiences of others who have gone before." – Yachting Times
