Our canoes kayaks, SUPs, paddles, and the water already know what to do. Shawn Burke invites us to learn their language - the language of science - to get at the why. Why do our hulls float, why do they move when paddled, and what are the three types of drag that impede their motion? How can we use this understanding to better trim and turn our hulls, select paddles, cross rivers, optimize our stroke, or just stay upright? How can competitive paddlers adapt training concepts from other sports to make them paddling-specific?Shawn combines the practical experience of an engineer with the passion of a dedicated paddler to help us understand what our hulls and paddles do. Combining insights and explanations grounded in physics and exercise physiology, additional material for those wishing to go deeper, and an abundance of references, The Science of Paddling is the ideal resource for the curious paddler.

Den här Hamnguiden beskriver över 400 natur- och gästhamnar från Arholma till Landsort. Här beskrivs kända och mindre kända naturhamnar, här ges tips om leder, och gästhamnarna redovisas detaljerat med service och tilläggningsmöjligheter. Alla hamnar presenteras med en detaljerad Hamnguidekarta, en helikopterbild, en guidande text av Lars Granath samt en faktaruta. När den andra utgåvan av Hamnguiden 8 kom ut 2016 var de nya hamnguidekartorna någonting nytt som aldrig tidigare förekommit i sjökortssammanhang. Det blev succé och i denna fjärde upplaga har många kartor uppdaterats ytterligare. Dessutom har ett 20-tal nya hamnar tillkommit. Samtliga Hamnguidekartor i boken är producerade av Hydrographica och är baserade på Hydrographicas beprövade sjömätningsteknik med 3D-flygfoto som underlag. Varje hamnguidekarta har dessutom kontrollerats och verifierats genom kompletterande sjömätningar på plats. Hamnguidekartorna har även en avancerad topografisk redovisning som bygger på den allra senaste tekniken med laserscanning av terrängen. Man får exakta höjdkurvor, i detta fall med 2,5 meters ekvidistans, men man får också möjlighet att med skuggeffekter skapa en 3D-känsla av terrängens former som ett komplement till de traditionella höjdkurvorna. Med denna teknik blir det mycket enkelt att i förväg bedöma egenskaperna hos en hamn och att avgöra var de bästa lälägena finns, eller var öarna är flacka och risken för blåst är större. Helikopterbilderna och markeringarna ger dig en snabb översikt över varje hamn, med dess atmosfär, faciliteter, inseglingsleder, faror och förtöjningsmöjligheter. Stenar och grund att tänka på speciellt är markerade på bilderna. Texten i Hamnguiden 8 är uppdelad i en generell och en maritim del. Den generella delen beskriver platsens historia, natur och tipsar om olika aktiviteter som finns att tillgå i hamnen. Den maritima delen ger information om var det är lugnt och tryggt att ligga, hur du förtöjer säkrast och vad du bör vara speciel

Une vie dans le lit du vent est un titre approprié pour un livre racontant une vie passée à utiliser le vent, qui décrit de manière humoristique et divertissante la façon dont l'auteur navigateur a organisé sa vie, lui a donné un sens, a dû faire face à d'innombrables combats et n'a pourtant jamais dévié de sa trace de vie. Une trace qui se confond avec l'horizon et au-delà, là où les rêves de navigation deviennent réalité, du moins pour ceux qui ont le bon ornement de poupe qui fonctionne pendant le sommeil. Ce livre est la rétrospective d'un autodidacte qui, en suivant une boussole intérieure, en apprenant par lui-même les compétences qu'il voulait ou devait acquérir, a développé sa propre conception des relations sociales entre les navigateurs, ce qui a permis de faire connaitre Windpilot de manière efficace pour en faire le leader mondial du marché des régulateurs d'allure via le bouche à oreille. Également auteur de livres spécialisés devenus une force motrice pour le succès de sa marque Windpilot, une oeuvre de toute une vie qui n'a guère de parallèles, d'autant plus que ses systèmes de régulateurs d'allure permettent aux navigateurs du monde entier de faire de longs voyages parce qu'ils pilotent leurs bateaux sans relâche en tant que serviteurs de barre. Dans ce livre, Peter Foerthmann résume dans un langage qui lui est propre sa vie, qui montre son plaisir de l'écriture, devenue nécessité et bonheur de transmettre, de raconter ses histoires : comment, un jour, il a échangé un bateau contre une idée qui est devenue son parcours de vie ; comment il a transformé Windpilot, un atelier traditionnel et totalement manuel en une petite entreprise de fabrication industrielle de pointe, probablement l'une des plus petites au monde ; et, surtout, l'histoire de la façon dont il a réussi à défendre et à maintenir son indépendance, tant sur le plan commercial que social, en s'en tenant à ses principes - équité, respect, empathie - et en apprenant, non sans incident parfois, à choisir judicieusement ses amis. C'est l'histoire d'un demi-siècle dans le domaine des régulateurs d'allure, un fil rouge qui est loin d'être entièrement déroulé ... espérons-le !
