Customer Reviews

Topnotch sailboat buying reference

My interest in and curiosity about a number of smaller sailboats was more than adequately satisfied by this wonderful little volume. The delivery was fast, the price reasonable. I am more than happy with the transaction

Great book, 100s of sailboat reviews but shoddy binding.

Hundreds of sailboat reviews with line drawings, profiles, and boat specs. One of my favorite "most read" books. Binding is shoddy, however. Many internal pages in my copy are falling out of the book. A result of heavy use?
