Get Ready to Cruise

On board Taleisin-the boat that has been their home for over 65,000 miles of voyaging - Lin and Larry demonstrate the techniques that have kept them safe and comfortable. Below deck, Lin describes galley upgrades, table design ideas, comfortable seating arrangements, and ways to improve ventilation. On deck, Lin and Larry show how sail and ground-tackle handling can be made easier for even the smallest crewmember. Learn about sun protection, rain collection, and line handling, advice on buying and storing provisions and hints for keeping you and your crew dry, warm, clean, and well rested. Come along and share in some of the secrets that, even after forty years afloat, make the Pardeys eager to keep cruising,"...As long as it's fun."
