Adventurous Use of the Sea Synopsis

For one hundred years members of the Cruising Club of America have been sailing far and wide on the oceans of the world. The CCA is an amateur sailing club without a clubhouse--but that does not mean the members are not communicative. They have written, photographed, and talked about their adventures. They have passed along adventures, disasters, great pleasures, and useful information for those who sail in their wake.In "Adventurous Use of the Sea" Tim Murphy, an experienced ocean sailor and professional sailing writer, and Sheila McCurdy, deeply experienced sailor and former Commodore of the CCA, recount the experiences of CCA members who will be familiar to sailing readers and some that should be: Bill Nutting, Olin Stephens, Jeanne Socrates, John Alden, Carleton Mitchell, Rich Wilson, Roger Swanson, Irving and Exy Johnson and many more.Each chapter has fascinating details on their sailing adventures, technical information on their boats, and historic and modern photographs, drawings, charts and boat plans that bring their voyages to life for both the experienced and novice sailor.
