Reviews

""Fantastic book for anyone looking to get sailing. Very informative and full of useful information. It's easy to understand and lays out everything you need to know, (in well thought out chapters) if you're new to boat ownership and especially good, if you have bought (or are thinking about buying) a cheap sailboat"" ""Perfect first book for a would-be boat owner. I have already owned two small sailboats, and really wish this book had been around 20 years ago as it lays out all the basics and legalities in a simple to read way."" ""Great book! Easy to read with loads of practical information. Thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering buying a second hand boat.""
