Sail the World takes readers through the whole process of what is required to sail around the world in comfort and style. It explains the skills required, the selection of a boat that is up to the task, the necessary equipment, and the planning required for world cruising. Costs are discussed as well as the type of ownership, taxes, insurance, and governmental requirements. The nitty-gritty of maintenance and provisioning are covered. Weather and heavy weather sailing are presented based on first-hand experience. Cruising risks, including pirates, are laid bare. All of this is supported with examples of the author's experience. There are many stories, or examples, of the type of experiences that can be encountered. The good, and the not so good, are presented.It is a real how-to guide covering all aspects of a life changing adventure. It is not a travel guide as there are other sources for that type of information. But it will encourage and inspire the reader to take the plunge and "slip the lines" for a truly remarkable experience that few have actually accomplished. It is a unique book as no other book covers the breadth of subjects in such detail.
