Frugal Yachting: Family Adventuring in Small Sailboats Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got past the first two words of the title (Frugal Yachting)only to be faced with the third word (family). Maybe the rest of the title is what they should have called it: Adventuring in Small Sailboats. I usually avoid things labelled "family", since single folks like me are not welcome in such places, as much as I like kids. But I put all this aside, and with the help of reviews, I thought that this book might be a help to me. I was right. This book is a labor of love by an experienced sailor who shows you most of the boats that would match your interests, spinning yarns, anecdotes, and sailing tricks while he's at it. This book is a treasure. Buy it!

Brown discusses the approaches to eating, sleeping, sanitation, storage, and safety on the smallest (15- to-24-foot) cruising sailboats, and reviews the various hull forms and sail plans available. This book is a revised edition of Brown's Sailing on a Microbudget, which reviewers called ``the winner for daysailing and weekend cruising'' (ENSIGN) and ``a real joy to read, reaffirming the adage that `simple is better' with compact grace and style'' (Small Boat Journal).
