Eric Klem

Eric started sailing and maintaining boats from a young age landing his first professional sailing job at the age of 16 and his first master’s license at 19. His sailing experience is highly varied, including multi-week open boat trips, working aboard tall ships, coastal and offshore cruising, and working in a shipyard specializing in large wooden vessels. Eric currently works as a mechanical engineer, designing products such as air compressors, steam expanders, and robotic arms. He enjoys sailing with his wife and two kids in their free time aboard their CS36T in the northeast US and Canadian Maritimes.

Dangers such as, but not limited to, extreme weather, cold, ice, lack of help or assistance, gear failure, grounding, and falling overboard could injure or kill you and wreck your boat. Decisions such as, but not limited to, heading offshore, where you go, and how you equip your boat, are yours and yours alone. The information on this web site is based on what has worked for the authors in the past, but that does not mean it will work for you, or that it is the best, or even a good way for you to do things.
