I've created some A4 PDF Pro Forma templates for those of you keen to put together a rock solid passage plan, pilotage plan or prepare your crew & vessel for sea without missing something critical. Once downloaded, you can print off the file for your use and use it as an aide memoir or the basis of your own template, as many times as you'd like. You can even laminate them, if that sort of thing floats your boat!
