Four things end long passages early: the decision nobody made ashore, the watch nobody could stand, the bank that ran flat, and the cooling circuit nobody had a baseline for.
The Offshore Passage Command Kit cuts across the catalogue by profile rather than by system. It is not the coastal cluster with more pages. It is the four registers that matter when the nearest help is a week away and nothing can be bought.
The four, and what each one records
A passage is a closed system. These are its four ledgers.
- Offshore Passage Planning Workbook, fourteen dated routing reviews including the ones that made you wait, heavy-weather choices decided ashore with the source recorded, and consumables at a rate measured on your own boat. 39 pages.
- Watchkeeping Roster & Night Passage Log, sixteen competences mapped against every slot, so the hours with nobody aboard able to reef show up as a zero before you leave, not at 0300. 35 pages.
- 12V Load & Energy Budget Worksheet, 28 loads with the plate figure beside the figure measured at the shunt, split across at sea, at anchor, in harbour and laid up. 38 pages.
- Cooling & Exhaust Service Record, raw water temperature rise and exchanger effectiveness with a baseline set before you left, so a change mid-ocean is readable rather than alarming. 41 pages.
02Why this combinationBecause an offshore passage is a closed system.1 min
Because an offshore passage is a closed system. The energy budget decides how long the autopilot and the fridge can run, which decides how hard the watch system has to work, which is exactly what the competence matrix measures. And the one mechanical system you cannot do without at sea is the one whose failure begins as a temperature you would only notice against a baseline. In Revision 2.1 a Kit Guide ties the four together: one departure date, the same crew codes, and every task before you leave on one page.
Before you order, what overlaps with the system kits
This pack is cut by profile, not by system, so all four of its documents also belong to a Command Kit. The Offshore Passage Workbook and the Watchkeeping Roster are part of the Passage Planning Command Kit; the 12V Load & Energy Budget Worksheet is part of the Electrical & Power Command Kit; the Cooling & Exhaust Service Record is part of the Engine & Drivetrain Command Kit.
If you already own one of those kits, buy the individual documents you are missing rather than this pack. If you own none of them, this is the shorter route.

As a pack, the four documents cost less than bought one at a time (the price block on this page works out the exact figures from current prices), and the four ledgers of a passage finally reference each other.
04The rule every document in the pack obeysNot one published limit, tactic, watch system, consumption rate, tolerance or service interval anywhere in 162 pages.1 min
Not one published limit, tactic, watch system, consumption rate, tolerance or service interval anywhere in 162 pages. A printed heavy-weather tactic would be read as permission and a printed watch system knows nothing about your crew. You write your own, ashore, dated, with the source recorded beside each.
05What it is notThese documents teach no navigation, no seamanship and no engineering.1 min
These documents teach no navigation, no seamanship and no engineering. They are not a substitute for training, for sea miles, or for the judgement of the person in charge of the vessel, which remains theirs alone.
Instant download. Your links appear on screen the moment payment clears, and a copy arrives by email, usually within a few minutes. They do not expire.

Questions
Before you buy the Offshore Passage Command Kit
The five questions asked about every document, answered for this pack.
Which file do I open first?
Open the Start here page, then the Kit Guide: it sets the order of work across the four records. Every document and the Kit Guide come in two editions, each in A4 and US Letter. Type in Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free, or write by hand in GoodNotes, Notability or on paper.
Does it calculate on iPhone or Android?
Yes. In Adobe Acrobat Reader on iPhone or Android every document in the pack calculates as it does on a computer, and the Kit Guide sorts every task before departure for you. Entries are saved into the files: no app of ours, no account, no connection.
What does it deliberately not contain?
Navigation, seamanship or engineering teaching. The four documents are not a substitute for training, sea miles or the judgement of the person in charge.
Does the pack suit a power boat?
Yes, with an inboard marine diesel. The workbook and the roster are written for sail or power, and the energy budget for any 12V or 24V system.
A4 or US Letter?
Both, for every file in the pack, in both editions. Choose by the paper you print on: A4 in Australia, New Zealand and Europe, US Letter in the United States and Canada. The pages and fields are the same in each.
