1: Lived up to expectations
The book's content is highly relevant for the cruising or blue water sailor. The explanations, anecdotes, photos and diagrams employed throughout the book are easy to understand and very helpful. Well worth the read, and a great reference to have on a boat!
|
2: Must have, must read, and must keep on board
This is one of a very short list of outstanding books for cruisers. Anyone thinking of cruising should read it, study it, and keep it on board. It's all about what makes a cruising boat run, how to avoid problems, and how to trouble shoot and fix them when they inevitably occur. Read and study it first, then don't leave the dock without it.
|
3: A must have for Cruisers!
This a great book for "go now and cheap" or "lots of toys" cruisers. It covers all the skills you need as a beginner, buying a boat, weather, everything! The only book you need for simple cruising like I did. www.sailingfreespiirit.com

4: Simply the Best
Skip the rest. Read the best. After purchasing several hundred pounds of boating publications I can definitively say, "Save yourself the trouble and buy this first."

5: Nigel Calders Cruising Handbook
I took this book out of the library, then renewed it for a second two weeks and still decided it had so much information I just NEEDED a copy of my own on board. Don't sail without it. An encyclopedia of information.
