Customer Reviews

The Perfect Gift for ANY Mariner!

I received this book as a gift from a non-sailor for Christmas. At a quick first glance and once-over I thought 'I already know this stuff' and the book sat on my bookshelf until now.As a person who has raced dinghies, catamarans and cruised on sailboats up to 80 feet, I thought I had learned enough of the small details that come with time on the water. I knew, of course, that there is a great deal more to know but I never thought it would come in the form of a simple book.This book has hundreds of nuggets of information that will make your life easier, more fun and help you look like you know what you are doing, even if you are new to boating. And if you DO know what you are doing, this is still a great book. I guarantee that there will some several nuggets for anyone and well worth the small price.Buy this book for yourself of for someone else, you will not regret it.
