Booknews
Howard's substantial guide to bluewater sailing has been revised by Doane, editor of Magazine. The book's first part describes the boat, with discussion of how to build or buy a boat, how to choose the rig, construction materials, and the layout of the deck, cockpit and cabin. Subsequent sections discuss topics with similar thoroughness and include coverage of systems and equipment; the voyage (e.g. trip planning, provisioning, psychological aspects of cruising, routine at sea); activities in port (e.g. heavy weather procedures, maintenance and repairs, security). Fourteen useful appendices are included. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
