Book Reviews of Frugal Yachting: Family Adventuring in Small Sailboats
Book Review: Inspirational
Summary: 5 Stars
This book has been the best I bought about sailing so far. I was looking for a book that would give me some guidance on how to start sailing and get my family into it. This book is so nicely written that it's inspirational. Don't expect sailing lessons on how improve your sailing performance from this book. Instead, you will find a passionate author that will tell you how to enjoy a small sailboat with your family. Based on this book and others we bought a West Wight Potter 15 and we are enjoying it every minute. My wife also loved the book because it explains how to get the kids involved so that we all enjoy the adventure. If you like family adventures or if you had your adventures when you were a teen, then you would like the author's approach and he might get you into trying them again but this time with your family. Love it!
Summary of Frugal Yachting: Family Adventuring in Small Sailboats
Brown discusses the approaches to eating, sleeping, sanitation, storage, and safety on the smallest (15- to-24-foot) cruising sailboats, and reviews the various hull forms and sail plans available. This book is a revised edition of Brown's Sailing on a Microbudget, which reviewers called ``the winner for daysailing and weekend cruising'' (ENSIGN) and ``a real joy to read, reaffirming the adage that `simple is better' with compact grace and style'' (Small Boat Journal).Repair & Maintenance Books
