HANDBUCH DES SCHIFFSERHALTS / M. Marquardt, H. Neumeister

The "Manual of Ship's Preservation for Bosuns and Sailors on Traditional Sailing Vessels" is a "textbook, manual and reference work for all craft activities necessary to preserve the rigging of the brig ROALD AMUNDSEN and other traditional tall ships. It is intended to impart the knowledge and skills of the bosun, as well as the physical and technical principles involved, and to preserve them for the next generation. Techniques proven over centuries as well as current standards and procedures can be found."

Mike Marquardt and Helge Neumeister have written brand new and significantly expanded the crew's own work "The Little Bosun". The collected knowledge from the training on board the brig ROALD AMUNDSEN has now been published by the operator association LebenLernen auf Segelschiffen.

The ten chapters:

• The boatswain

In addition to in-depth basics, various tasks are explained step by step with the help of corresponding photos. Here, traditional sailors are provided with the tools to maintain and sail these beautiful old ships for a long time to come.
