A sheet of useful facts I post on my nav station. Stuff I don’t use often enough to memorize, but stuff that—when I want it—I want it now! Or if I get beaned by the boom, stuff that my first mate might want to know.

 

Like:

·        standard MAYDAY script,

·        USCG emergency frequencies,

·        speed increase needed to justify footing rather than pointing,

·        how to set frequencies in my ICOM M710 SSB,

·        where all the seacocks are,

·        how to double-check the state of charge of the batteries, given charge current and battery voltage (derived from Calder),

·        geostrophic wind speed (from Dashew),

·        how much Clorox to use in the water (from Leonard),

·        and like that.

 

The .DOC format is included if you want to modify it for your own boat.

 

·        Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) format

·        MS-Word (.DOC) format
