DESCRIPTION

A handy, splash-proof, on-the-water reference guide should you ever find yourself in an emergency: it could be your saviour. Covering everything from fires, leaks, engine trouble and emergency steering to man overboard, first aid, dismasting and distress signals.

The essential onboard guide to staying afloat and alive at sea-when you run into trouble

Written by a respected marine journalist with over thirty years of boating experience, this practical guide offers immediate solutions to any number of problems encountered while at sea. Addressing such dangers as fire; taking on water; running aground; losing power, mast, or rudder; man overboard; becoming lost; and extreme weather, the book offers clear guidance on gaining control of the situation, along with easily understandable photos and illustrations. Other key

safety measures, such as having a good understanding of first aid, the Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS), flares and signals, are also described in detail. This handy, waterproof guide would complete any boat's equipment list.

  • Detailed advice for most emergency situations
  • A must-have reference for all sailors, power boaters, and motor boaters
  • The author of numerous books in Norwegian, John Winge has cruised all over world

As important as a first-aid kit, Emergency Companion is any boater's

first line of defense against managing any mishap or potential disaster at sea.
