highly recommended

Good manual and info on sailing

Well thought out and good graphics/photos. Solid marine related information and guide. A good book for the sail oriented seamen.

The Cruising Handbook is the reference manual to have

For cruising, Nigel Calder's book is the one that offers the most good information about a variety of cruising-related subjects. If I had to choose to keep only couple of books for boating, it would be this and Chapman's Piloting and Seamanship. This Cruising Handbook is especially geared for sailboats and covers all boat systems and the issues you are likely to encounter.

A must have for sailing cruisers

I wish I had bought this book before I bought my newest old boat - my personal survey would have been much more effective.

This book covers so much, so well. Mr. Calder obviously not only has the knowledge but the motivation to really think about what should go into each area. He covers choosing, maintaining, upgrading, and cruising a boat to just the right degree that if you had no other resources, this book would usually suffice. And he does this in such a relatively small book.

mostly about calder's boat

this is book about cruising in a sailboat but is mostly filled with pictures and references to his sailboat and what a great boat it is. i wanted a book about cruising after you have a boat.

Really essential

Quite a bit of good info here although Nigel does let his rather strong opinions shine through in some areas. Smile.
