Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most long-distance sailing takes place in the tropics, the fabled belt between 25 degrees north and south of the equator where swaying palms and reliable trade winds are found. However, most voyaging sailors hail from higher latitudes, and sailing in cold water will not prepare them for the unique challenges and hazards of the tropics. This handbook focuses on the special concerns of the tropical sailor.
