This book is intended as an aid for people who are interested in
knowing more about cruising boats. You may have a boat and be
preparing for a trip or thinking of buying one. For people who may
aspire to live aboard, cruise or cross oceans and want to start
researching what the boat needs. Well, this is the place to start.
All the details in this book will probably raise as many questions
as are answered but questions are good. This book is not technical,
(well, not much) and will not talk about repairing an alternator or
the like. It will however discuss what you need to know in order to
buy and fit one as part of your cruising conversion. Cruising is
fun (mostly) and reading about it should be too so I hope you get a
laugh every now and then. The author, pictured left (after an
altercation with a shaman in Thailand), has lived aboard for over
14 years. He has recently (2014) completed a diploma in marine
surveying. www.championmarinesurveyors.com
