Since this book was first published in 1994, it has established
itself as the most complete, most reliable, and most-read guide for
those planning to sail across the oceans.
Now in a handy paperback, this second edition is both completely
updated with reference to the ever-changing technology, especially
electronics, and also maintains the clarity of style and
organization that won the first edition so much praise from
professionals and readers alike.
For easy reference, this important handbook is divided into
four parts: The Boat, The Systems and Equipment, The Voyage and In
Port. Included are sections on: building or buying a boat, size
considerations, rig and hull design, cruising multihulls,
construction materials, spars and rigging, deck layout and
equipment, cockpit, below decks, engines, plumbing, electrics and
electronics, sails, and self-steerage systems. Security,
maintenance, health and psychological issues are also covered.
