Sobre este artículo
New York: Seven Seas Press, 1975. First Edition. 8vo. 256 pp. Appendix; Bibliography; Index. Illustrations, tables,and charts. Bound in dark blue morocco with design of sailboat on front cover in light blue leather and gilt onlay; housed in clamshell box with marbled paper & blue leather spine with gilt lettering & design. The book is in fine condition; minor wear to box edges & fading to box spine. When first published in 1975, "Voyaging Under Power" quickly became the "go to" reference for anyone planning an extended voyage under power. As a Captain during World War II aboard an aircraft carrier, Beebe dreamed of one day retiring and cruising the world in a small boat. At that time, no suitable long- distance powerboats existed. Beebe literally had to invent modern powerboat voyaging from scratch. The design parameters he developed for long-distance powerboats are still in use by naval architects today. The resulting boat, Passagemaker, was home to the Beebes for many years and more than 60,000 ocean-crossing miles. What Beebe learned in those years of voyaging became, in 1974, still the most important and influential book ever published on long-distance powerboating.
