Books - Choosing the right sailboat for your needs

_______________________________________
Four books to help with the critical boat purchase decisions.



Inspecting the Aging Sailboat by Don Casey – 141 pages, softbound. Contains so much practical information for the DIY buyer with explanations and drawings. Points out common problems and how to check them out. Easy to understand. I wish I had read this before my first purchase, it would have saved some major headaches and $$$.

Desirable and Undesirable Characteristics of Offshore Yachts – 310 pages, hardbound. Explains the pros and cons of various sailboat designs and layouts, including stability, steering, deck and cockpit layout, cabin layout, ventilation, sail plan, rigging, ground tackle, power plant, safety gear, and more.

Used Boat Notebook, from Sailing Magazine by John Kretschmer. 232 pages soft bound. “Reviews of 40 used boats plus a detailed look at 10 great used boats to sail around the world” If you have a limited budget but still want a solid sailboat, this is the book to read.

The Complete Guide to Choosing a Cruising Sailboat - hardbound 214 pages. The cover is solid black so the photo is the inside cover. This will help to narrow down your final must-have or do-not-want checklist. It compliments the others and covers additional topics and details.

All the books are in good to excellent condition, with no tears, or wear
