IHP_20SSB
John Vigor turns the spotlight on twenty seaworthy sailboats that are at home on the ocean in all weather. These are old fiberglass boats, mostly of traditional design and strong construction. . All are small, from 20 feet to 32 feet overall, but all have crossed oceans, and all are cheap. Choosing the right boat to take you across an ocean or around the world can be confusing and exasperating, particularly with a tight budget. Vigor sets out to remedy that in this book. He compares the designs and handling characteristics of 20 different boats whose secondhand market prices start at about $3,000. Interviews with experienced owners...

This is the first extensive cruising guide covering the Channel Islands to be published since Brian Fagan’s Cruising Guide to Southern California's Offshore Islands. Fagan’s book remains to be the gold standard for comprehensive coverage of the Channel Island’s. Frederick’s new cruising guide encourages sailors to use his guide alongside Fagan’s book and has put together a guide that takes a new angle: “I have taken a completely different approach with writing this cruising guide. I am assuming that the reader not only has Brian Fagen’s “Cruising Guide to Southern California’s Channel Islands” and Marc Hughston’s “Anchoring at...

In spite of all the advances in electronics and aids to navigation, any prudent navigator planning a longer voyage should continue to refer to pilot charts as valuable sources of information on weather conditions, tropical storm seasons and critical areas, as well as prevailing winds and currents.
