 How to Sail Around the World : Advice and Ideas for Voyaging Under Sail January 10, 2007
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Great reading covering all aspects of cruising, although some ideas seem somewhat "old-fashioned". The book is never the less full of great ideas and advise for anyone wanting to set out on an extended voyage. Highly recommended.

It is a nice book but not the type of book I was looking for, updating a book is not adding a few lines with recent issues. Technical aspects not covered. I 'm still searching a good book on that issue.

This is the third book I've read recently about owning and equipping a sailboat for crusiing. Each of the books has had a particular emphasis, such as outfitting a boat for coastal cruising. But this book is exactly what I wanted for info and the book delivered the goods. Some of the other books had more detailed info on inverters, toilets, reverse-osmosis water systems, refrigeration, etc., but they didn't have info on self-steering gear, the basics of a sextant, the boat log and its contents, paper work when landing at a port, etc. I don't want to give the impression that he doesn't talk about the boat systems in detail. There is enough info available and it's good stuff. It just isn't as extensive as some, but he does cover the topic adequately, and in some cases much better than the other books. Also, the use of a rough cost estimates is very helpful. He puts it in terms of the cost of multiple beers. This I can relate to on several different planes! He does mention some brand names too. Some of these writers have some reluctance to tell you who makes either good or crappy stuff and what it costs. I have a tendency to highlite a book when I read something usefull. Well this book has lots of color. In conclusion...buy this book because it's packed full of very important and interesting info about equipping your boat for bluewater cruising.

One thing Roth never forgets is basic seamanship.His experience shows in every chapter. Lots to learn here. And he definitely does know how to write well. But he does not do as good of job covering the details that affect women on board cruising boats. So if I was trying to encourage someones dream, I'd buy this book along with Lin Pardey's Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew.

The genuine article. A well written and pragmatic book that will serve as both a good first read and a long term reference text. Highly recommend.
