3 out of 5 stars Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Sailing   April 10, 2007
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This book contained lots of helpful hints for the new sailor in a humorous way. Easy and fun to read!


5 out of 5 stars 200 entries which blend humor with solid practical advice   December 9, 2005
 10 out of 10 found this review helpful

If you think a serious approach is inherent in a book like John Vigor's Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Sailing, think again: there's no orthodoxy to sailing, and plenty of truths to tell - and Vigor reveals them in 200 entries which blend humor with solid practical advice. From knowing what kind of documentation is needed to sail into foreign waters to renaming or repainting a boat, Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Started Sailing avoids many pitfalls.


3 out of 5 stars Tidbits from someone who clearly knows his way around boats   December 4, 2005

This is an alphabetical listing of boat issues, common misconceptions, followed by the authors opinion on the issue.
He is clearly knowledgeable, but each area is so short you don't get the full benefit. I found myself reading them and thinking, I wish he would have said more about this.
