Book Reviews of Sailing Small: Inspiration and Instruction for the Pocket Cruiser
Book Review: An inspiration to buck the trend
Summary: 4 Stars
After recently realising that a small, traditional boat can have many advantages over today's 'dream boat', it was a delight to discover others that share the experience. As I learn about the capabilities of my 18' gaff yawl, this book provides inspiration for fit-out, handling, rigging and, above all, the immense capabilities of a variety of well-designed small craft. By following the example of these writers, you'll be sailing sooner, more often and have more fun.
Summary of Sailing Small: Inspiration and Instruction for the Pocket Cruiser
Proving that one does not need to be wealthy to enjoy a lifetime of fulfillment aboard a cruising sailboat, this collection contains anecdotes from eight experienced sailors who have voyaged safely and comfortably aboard boats ranging from 161/2-foot centerboard gaff cutters to ocean-going 22-foot cutters. Included is the story of the Sea Dart, the small sailboat made famous by adventurer Tristan Jones in his bestselling book, The Incredible Voyage. Contributors relate how they could afford larger, more complex boats but have resisted the urge to upgrade for reasons both practical and philosophical. Topics covered include boat selection, cooking, toilet facilities, ventilation, sleeping, and seamanship.General Books
