A foundational guide to preparing for offshore sailing

Drawn from Carl Chase’s nautical science course at the Sea Education Association and aboard the schooner Westward, this volume organizes the knowledge presented as necessary for taking a modern sailing vessel to sea. It is framed as intensive preparation rather than a narrow manual on one onboard task, positioning seamanship within the broader responsibilities of a sea-going sailor. The material addresses both first-time sailors and those building on prior experience, with an emphasis on developing practical readiness for time at sea.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • First-time sailors preparing to go to sea
  • Sailors seeking a broad grounding in nautical science
  • Readers interested in seamanship and sailing-vessel operation
