• The Journal of Ship Research provides access to highly technical papers on applied research in hydrodynamics, propulsion, ship motions, structures, and vibrations. Many of these papers bear directly on disciplines outside ship and ocean science and engineering, such as civil and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics, and numerical analysis, making it a valuable tool to professionals in many fields.
• Marine Technology and SNAME News, our quarterly flagship journal, covers a broad spectrum of research on the latest technological breakthroughs, trends, concepts, and discoveries in the marine industry.
• SNAME’s Transactions, published annually since 1893, includes annual reports and papers presented at the Society’s annual meeting, with discussions of the papers and authors’ closures.

The Cruising Woman's Advisor by Diana Jessie forwards by Tania Aebi and Lin Pardey

The cruising life offers adventure, exotic destinations, and expansive opportunities for personal growth. But considering such a life leads to vexing questions: What do I need to learn? What do I do if my partner falls overboard? How will our relationship be tested at sea? Let longtime cruiser and circumnavigator Diana Jessie start you on the journey of a lifetime with her advice on short-term cruising or long-term voyaging. She addresses the concerns of women cruisers, including:

• Cruising roles and relationships
• What life at sea is really like
• Children on board
• How to make the boat your home as well as his
• Identifying the dangers and putting them into perspective . . . and more

Plan for smooth cruising with advice from Sally Bee Brown, a contributing editor to PassageMaker magazine; Carol Cuddyer, cofounder of Sea Sense, a sailing and powerboating school for women; Dawn Riley, noted America’s Cup and Whitbread sailor; Patience Wales, two-time circumnavigator and editor emeritus of SAIL; and thirty other cruisers. This updated edition also contains information on powerboating (including choosing between power and sail), cruising with pets, and satellite communication.
