In view of the sky-high purchase and ownership costs of today's
large yachts, more and more people are opting to cruise in smaller
boats, ranging downward in size from 30 feet to as small as 15
feet. In a boat with limited space, forethought and good design are
particularly important for both safety and comfort -- but all too
often these are precisely the areas shortchanged in fiberglass
production sailboats. Upgrading Your Small Sailboat for Cruising is
intended to bridge that gap, with dozens of projects to make a
daysailer suitable for cruising, or a pocket cruiser more suitable.
The book offers improvements in every area: masts and rigging,
flotation, strengthening fiberglass hulls, bow rollers, enclosed
cockpits, stowage tanks, water systems, seating and sleeping
arrangements, lockers, bulkheads, canvaswork, hatches, and
ventilation. These and many other details, taken together, can make
the difference between pleasure and misery when cruising in small
sailboats.
