Thanks to everyone that helped me in compiling my draft of the Crew SOP manual and a new booklet—A Guide For Guests Aboard the M/Y Grande Adventure.

As a place holder, I used the name M/Y Grande Adventure.

I haven't yet purchased a yacht or hired Captain, so I'm sure there will be many updates still to be made. Reading what others have included in their SOP manuals has been a great exercise to understanding the daily operations of a yacht from a crews perspective.

In a few months my free time will be very limited, so I took this opportunity now to learn as much as possible from all of you while I still have ample spare time.

Just send me a Private Message with your email address, letting me know if you want to see a copy of the SOP Manual, the Guide for Guests Booklet, or both. Also, let me know if you want the copy in PDF or Word 2007 format.

Feel free to copy, modify and use the information for your own purposes. Also, I would greatly appreciate your candide feedback, corrections or suggestions.

Hello everyone!

I am getting into yachting and I want to learn as much as possible beforehand.

I just joined and came across this thread, which is exactly what I am looking for. Does anyone have a copy of these manuals they can send me?

Also, can anyone point me to where can I find a listing of safety equipment required on a US flag vessel under 100 tons, around 88 feet in length? What about safety drills and briefings etc...

If someone will PM me I can reply with my email address, I'm not sure if I can post that in public on this board.

Just trying to get a picture of what those aspects are like.
Thanks!

Steve
