Ship's Log: A Captain's Log for Boat Trips and Maintenance

The Ship's Log: Your All-in-One Captain's Logbook

The Ship's Log is an all-in-one captain's logbook for sail and power boats. Trips, watches, fluids, inventory, and every repair and upgrade go in one spiral-bound book with six tabbed sections, so you can replace scattered notebooks with one durable book. The maintenance logs are organized by system, so when you need to know when the impeller was last changed or what was done to the autopilot, you turn straight to that system's page instead of hunting through one long, jumbled list.

At a Glance

• Maintenance, repair, and upgrade logs are organized by system, from the engine to the ground tackle.
• Six tabbed sections: Quick Reference, Ship's Log, Cruising Log, Inventory, Fluid Logs, and Maintenance.
• Fluid logs track oil, coolant, fuel, water fills, pump-outs, and galley fuel.
• Includes a watch log, a radio log, and pre-departure and change-of-watch checks.
• Works for sail and power, with one engine or two.
• 8" x 10", 164 pages, with lay-flat spiral binding and heavy paper.
• The cover is waterproof; the inside pages are not.
• A practical gift for a new boat owner or any captain.

Keeping maintenance by system pays off in three ways. You see at a glance what's been done to each piece of equipment and when, so problems and patterns stand out early. When you call a technician, the history and part details for that system are on one page. And when it's time to sell, a buyer can see exactly what's been done to the boat.

What's Inside

1. Quick Reference: vessel information (boat, engines, generator, tender, and outboard), a wind and sea state chart, a VHF radio quick reference, and shorthand marks.
2. Ship's Log: watch log, pre-departure and change-of-watch checks, radio log, and important contacts.
3. Cruising Log: a page per day for engine and generator hours, fuel and water taken on, provisions, day and night hours, and notes.
4. Inventory: spare parts, consumables, plumbing, sails, electronics, and more.
5. Fluid Logs: engine oil, generator oil, coolant, gearbox oil, engine and generator fuel, water fills, pump-outs, and galley and grill fuel.
6. Repairs, Upgrades, and Maintenance: a separate log for each system: engine, generator, steering and autopilot, hull and deck, canvas and sails, standing rigging, running rigging, plumbing and head, electrical, galley, cabin, bilge, ground tackle, and other. Service contacts and pages for notes and diagrams finish the book.

Built for Life Aboard

• 8" x 10" size: large enough for easy writing, compact enough to store at the nav station.
• Tabbed sections and heavy paper: find the right log fast and write on it comfortably.
• Waterproof cover: resists tearing and holds up to life aboard. The inside pages aren't waterproof.
• Lay-flat spiral binding: stays open for writing, even in tight spaces.
