About the Book

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.
About the Author: Marine journalist Tim Murphy has been steeped in the literature of the sea and the practice of seamanship for all his life. He served as a Cruising World magazine's staff editor from 1991 to 2006 (Newport, Rhode Island), where he directed the magazine's Boat of the Year program. Since 2006 he has worked as an independent editor and author of books and articles, as well as a graphic designer. He's the co-author of a marine-trades textbook, Fundamentals of Marine Service Technology (ABYC, 2012), and editor of Voyaging With Kids (L&L Pardey, 2018). Recipient of many writing awards, Tim is a BoatUS Magazine contributing editor, a Cruising World Editor-at-Large, and a Cruising World Boat of the Year judge. Sheila McCurdy is a past commodore of the Cruising Club of America. She has sailed over 125,000 miles on the oceans and seas of the world and is a training expert in safety at sea. She has contributed to maritime publications as a writer and photographer for 35 years. She holds a Master of Marine Affairs degree and a 100 ton Merchant Mariner license.
