Ocean Cruising Club Knowledge

The collective knowledge and experience of OCC members in ocean cruising constitutes a powerful source of advice and information for OCC Members and other ocean cruisers. .

Here you will find guides to Good Practices in seamanship and cruising. They provide practical steps, tried and tested techniques and leading practices that have been developed and refined over time with input from subject matter experts and experienced cruisers. The guides were first published and discussed on the OCC Forum, and the discussions have been incorporated in the first guides to be published here. The aim is to make the guides more accessible to OCC Members and other cruisers, and more will follow.

We also publish here ‘White Papers’ - reviews of information, advice and discussion by experts in other fields relevant to cruising - and the first of these is about Climate Change and Ocean Cruising.

You will also find information and advice about what you can do to help with environmental impacts  here at Environment/Good Cruising Practices and here at Environment/Oceans Under Threat .
