The most comprehensive and helpful guide ever written for selecting and equipping a cruising sailboat Whether you're a coastal or offshore cruiser, you'll find your most pressing concerns treated with the know-how that makes for skillful, confident cruising in Nigel Calder's Cruising Handbook. The author -- one of the most respected marine how-to authors on either side of the Atlantic, and author of the universally admired Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual, -- walks you through all key technical and practical aspects of modern cruising systems and equipment, providing you with a summary of the skills necessary for safe, enjoyable sailing. The first half of the book includes an easy-to-use tabular method for evaluating a boat's suitability for cruising; ideas for workable deck and interior lay-outs and organization; how to choose and configure suitable boat systems for cruising; and how to install gear for trouble free operation. The book's second half teaches you boat handling skills; core navigational expertise; anchoring techniques; weather understanding; heavy weather expertise; and specific skills for long-term and long-distance cruising.
Lived up to expectations
| Customer Rating: | | The book's content is highly relevant for the cruising or blue water sailor. The explanations, anecdotes, photos and diagrams employed throughout the book are easy to understand and very helpful. Well worth the read, and a great reference to have on a boat! |
Must have, must read, and must keep on board
| Customer Rating: | | This is one of a very short list of outstanding books for cruisers. Anyone thinking of cruising should read it, study it, and keep it on board. It's all about what makes a cruising boat run, how to avoid problems, and how to trouble shoot and fix them when they inevitably occur. Read and study it first, then don't leave the dock without it. |
A must have for Cruisers!
| Customer Rating: | | This a great book for "go now and cheap" or "lots of toys" cruisers. It covers all the skills you need as a beginner, buying a boat, weather, everything! The only book you need for simple cruising like I did. www.sailingfreespiirit.com |
Simply the Best
| Customer Rating: | | Skip the rest. Read the best. After purchasing several hundred pounds of boating publications I can definitively say, "Save yourself the trouble and buy this first." |
Nigel Calders Cruising Handbook
| Customer Rating: | | I took this book out of the library, then renewed it for a second two weeks and still decided it had so much information I just NEEDED a copy of my own on board. Don't sail without it. An encyclopedia of information. |
