a lot of information

I like how the mechanics are described in axactly how the sea can utterly destroy a vessel. Forwarde IS fore-armed.

great information

I bought this book to help me make decisions on future boat purchases and it did the job! The basic benefit I've received by reading this book is that I can know what to expect out of any boat I will purchase. In addition, there's information about how to load the boat properly for it to perform well in rough conditions, explaintion of bulkheads design, deck design, dewatering systems, fire extinguishing systems, helm layout, etc. When I think about boats I've owned in the past, they performed exactly as Eric Sorensen stated they would. The book exceeded my expectations and I am now more confidence in every aspect of boating.
