Professional career

After U.S. Army service, during which he taught history at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Rousmaniere was an editor at Yachting and Natural History magazines before becoming a freelance writer in 1978. He worked out of his home in Stamford, Conn., where he was a single parent caring for his sons, William and Dana, before moving to Manhattan in 2005.

Rousmaniere writes on a wide range of topics but is best known for his books on storms at sea, yachting history, and sailing instruction, particularly The Annapolis Book of Seamanship, which has gone through three editions

 in which he sailed and 15 sailors died. Published in several languages and still in print in 2010, this was the first of his storm books. It was followed in 2002 by After the Storm: True Stories of Disaster and Recovery at Sea, about the causes and consequences of storms at sea as seen through biographies of sailors and seamen, stories of gales and wrecks, and Rousmaniere's own experiences. These concerns had led him to attend Union Theological Seminary, where he earned the Master of Divinity degree in 1988.

Rousmaniere has sailed more than 40,000 miles, including nine Newport Bermuda Races (two in the second-place boat), two Fastnet Races, three transatlantic races or cruises, other long races or cruises, and extensive day racing that included winning championships. His sailing experience, and his writing about the 1979 Fastnet storm, led Rousmaniere to speak at or moderate more than 100 safety at sea, seamanship, or Suddenly Alone seminars under the aegis of the U.S. Sailing Association (US SAILING) and North U (the educational arm of North Sails). He moderated the safety at sea seminars for the 2011 Transpac Race (at Newport Beach, Cal.) and the 2011 Marion Bermuda Cruising Yacht Race (at Cambridge, Mass.). He also is moderator for the September 17, 2001 safety seminar at New Orleans for the 2012 Isla Mujeres Race and a safety seminar at the Strictly Sail Boat Show in Chicago on January 28, 2012, as well as other safety seminars in 2012.

Rousmaniere co-organized the Crew Overboard Rescue Seminar at Sausalito, Cal., in 2005 and wrote its final report recommending rescue equipment and skills. He is the coordinator of the Hanson Rescue Medal Award presented by US SAILING.

He participated in official US SAILING inquiries into two fatal sailing accidents in 2011, one involving the death of a young sailor at Annapolis, Md., and the other the deaths of two sailors in the long-distance race from Chicago to Mackinac Island. Rousmaniere was the sole reviewer and author of the first inquiry, and served on the four-member panel concerning the second, writing the Narrative section. The reports were released on October 29, 2011..

Rousmaniere has written a number of history books on a broad range of topics that include the America's Cup, ocean racing, yacht and other clubs, businesses, yachts, and the history of yachting. He has also written about maritime photography (Sleek and A Picture History of the America's Cup). For many years he was Consulting Editor of The Dolphin Book Club, the maritime division of the Book of the Month Club. His book reviews appear in WoodenBoat, Cruising World, and other publications. He frequently lectures on maritime history and New York history at libraries, historical associations, yacht clubs, and other venues.

His non-boating books include histories of the law firm of Davis Polk & Wardwell

, the Equitable Life Assurance Society, and Piping Rock country club on Long Island. Rousmaniere’s writings about New York City include a history of settlement houses (his Columbia M.A. thesis). His recent Green Oasis in Brooklyn is an illustrated history of a large, classic 160-year-old cemetery on the Brooklyn-Queens border. He has contributed 40 essays to the 2nd edition (2010) edition of The Encyclopedia of New York City.

Books he has edited include All This and Sailing, Too, the autobiography of the yacht designer Olin J. Stephens II, (Mystic Seaport, 1999);, as well as Dennis Conner's autobiography No Excuse to Lose; The Enduring Great Lakes, on the ecology of the Great Lakes; Desirable and Undesirable Characteristics of Offshore Yachts; and Michael Levitt, Herding Tigers: The North Sails Story (North Sails, 2009).

In television and video, Rousmaniere has written the scripts for several sailing shows produced by Gary Jobson for ESPN and other outlets. In 2002-03 he was the writer for the Outdoor Life Network's coverage of the Louis Vuitton Cup runup to the America's Cup match in Auckland, New Zealand. In 2007 he was a commentator on the America's Cup match at Valencia, Spain, on a Silversea Cruise Line ship. He has been interviewed for historical documentaries and was co-writer of a documentary on the Beatles, The Compleat Beatles.

Rousmaniere was media chair for the 47th Newport Bermuda Race in 2010, writing and editing daily coverage of the race for its website, http://bermudarace.com/, and the international press. He again serves as the race's media chair in 2012. He has written columns on seamanship for Sailing World magazine and the online publication SailNet, http://www.sailnet.com. He regularly contributes to Cruising World, Scuttlebutt, Sail World, and other web and print publications (SEE "ARTICLES, ETC." BELOW) and has been interviewed on NPR and in print publications.

Encyclopedias to which he has contributed (also serving as an editor) include The Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History, The Encyclopedia of Yacht Designers, The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea, and The Encyclopedia of New York City.

His memberships include the Century Association, the Cruising Club of America, the New York Yacht Club, and the Authors Guild. He serves on the Bermuda Race Organizing Committee, the Selection Committee of the America's Cup Hall of Fame (which he has chaired), and the Safety at Sea Committee of U.S. Sailing. A member of the U.S. Olympic Yachting Committee from 1977–84, he chaired the 1980 Sailing Olympic Trials. In 2010 the Cruising Club of America awarded Rousmaniere its Richard S. Nye Trophy for meritorious service. Besides teaching history at West Point, Rousmaniere has taught writing at the College of New Rochelle and Union Theological Seminary. In the 1990s he worked in the business development office of the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell.

Rousmaniere resides in Manhattan with his wife, Leah Ruth Robinson Rousmaniere, a development officer, mystery novelist, historian of tea, and the author of the history of the Seamen's Church Institute of New York and New Jersey.
