from International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press
Price: $37.77

Customer Review:
I purchased this book to give to my husband at his retirement party. We are in the process of purchasing a sailboat to live aboard. We have almost no experience in sailing let alone maintenance of a sailboat. At our recent survey, my husband was able to ask pertinent questions, and have his many... more info

2.Things I Wish I d Known Before I Started SailingThings I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Sailing
from Sheridan House
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
The book has a lot of advise and while much of it may be known to experienced sailors the starters to sailing will probably appreciate everything in the book. I feel that even experienced sailors will find something new or at least be reminded of something useful.

3.Sail and Rig TuningSail and Rig Tuning
from Wiley
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
If you could buy only one book on sailing, have moderate experience and enough common sense not to do things that will obviously damage the hull or hurt the crew, this would probably be it.
It is not perfect, in the sense that there is no engineering math, but it's so good that, having lost my... more info

from Paradise Cay Publications
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
My first copy was pretty worn, so I decided to buy this edition. Really interesting new stories, not only from the Pardeys expereinces in storms, but also from others.

from International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press
Price: $29.97

Customer Review:
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... more info

6.The Morrow Guide to KnotsThe Morrow Guide to Knots
from Collins
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
I was an eagle scout and fisherman in my time so far. I love this book. I read and practice knots with it. (I think this is only feminine if you call it macramé.) You don't need all the knots in this book but that is what is so cool about it. Morrow will show you how the knot is made and even... more info

from International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
Style wise, this is the opposite of The Sailmaker's Apprentice by Marino. This is not a book to pick up while sitting by the fire sipping tea. It is a great reference book with concise "how to" information. I have a friend who told me that there is nothing beyand repair on a fiberglass boat. After... more info

I was recommended this book for my wife for a woman's point of view to cruising, mine to which whom untill we purchased our boat had never set foot on a Sailboat. Having several years experience myself this book would be more suited to me then to her.
Very in depth and informative. But not a... more info
