Description
Bluewater Sailing for Any Budget offers expert advice on finding and purchasing a safe, affordable, and responsive sailboat. Unlike other books that focus on fundamental aspects of sailing, this guide concentrates on the search process, buying process, and final outfitting. The book's centerpiece is James Elfer's analysis of 20 offshore-capable sailboats available for under $50,000, based on an exhaustive survey of industry professionals. These boats are readily available for purchase in most regions and come with valuable first-person accounts from owners, as well as detailed table data including capsize numbers. Multiple photos and lines plans accompany the list, providing a comprehensive resource for sailors looking to navigate the world or their local waters on a budget.
