## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Arrived promptly and as advertised
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2023*

Purchased this used book and it had virtually no wear or markings. Very pleased with the condition. As for content, what is there to say? Nigel Calder is one of the premier experts in the field of sailing...especially when it comes to prep and maintenance.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Not recommended, out of date, needs updating (2001 copyright).
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2014*

This book is primarily for monohull sailboat yacht cruisers.  If you own or thinking to purchase a Pacific Seacraft 40’ sailboat, you will love this book.  The author spends much time (and not so subtlety) rationalizing and justifying his purchase of the Pacific Seacraft 40’.  If you own or thinking to purchase another monohull sailboat, this book will have value, but you will have to take what is written as opinion and lessons learned from an experienced cruisers.  That said there is much to take away from the author’s experience.  If new to cruising or thinking of cruising, this book would be a worthwhile read.  However, this book was published in 2001 and a lot has changed since then so much written is obsolete or not in-line with current technology.  If the book is priced for less than $10.00 you might want to give it a read otherwise look for a more recently released book on the topics of monohull sailboat yacht cruising.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Simply, just buy it

This is the energy drink of boat books, if you only have room for one book on your boat, this should be it.  If you don't have a boat but are shopping for one to spend some time on, even more reason to purchase, it will easily pay for itself and put a realistic focus on dreams.
