 Usefull to some, but I wanted more November 30, 2007

This book is a valuable resource for someone with limited knowledge who is looking for a good affordable boat. However, as an owner of one of the boats listed in the book, I was hopeing for more. All the boats reviewed in the book are capable of taking you anywhere, in the author's opinion. However, he does point out flaws, some serious, in each of the boats. I would have appreciated some in depth discussion on how to remedy or ameliorate these flaws.
Good amount of research September 10, 2007

I bought this book after reading John Vigor's "20 small sailboats to take you anywhere".
This book has a huge amount of knowldge and history on sailboats and hte companies that manufactured them. A good reference to build up konwledge on older sailboats.
The book would have been better if:
- There was some comparison between the 20 boats to give you a reference on what is "the best boat". Similarly as in "20 small sailboats"
- The writor wrote a little less tehcnical and with a little humor. (There is a lot of technical stuff to put you to sleep. :-) )
I have 3 books on sailboat reviews and this one is more thorough than the others I have. However, all that technical konwledge does not makes it easier in choosing one of the 20 boats under review here.
After all is said, I can still recommend this book although not as easy a read as "20 small sailboats".
The writor Gregg Nestor should be commended for his amazing reaearch on the history of boats and boat companies.
 A perfect pick May 12, 2007

The design, construction, and specifications of different affordable sailboats are surveyed here in Twenty Affordable Sailboats to Take You Anywhere: a perfect pick for any general-interest public library where boating is a patron's hobby. These are in-depth reviews of each of twenty comfortable, seaworthy sailboats which range in size from 30-38 feet - and focus on boats still readily available in the used boat market, making this of special interest and very useful to any would-be boater.
