Publisher's summary

Welcome to the 2021 update of "Sailboat Cruising." For anyone who wants to move up from day sailing to "coastal cruising," this program will cover systems onboard a sailing yacht: electrical, plumbing, head, galley, anchoring system, navigation and rigging.

Audience 1 - Those with knowledge of basic sailing who want to move up to coastal cruising. Audience 2 - Those who have gone cruising and want to deepen their knowledge. Audience 3 - A primer for friends and family who may come along as passengers and need to use onboard systems and stay safe on a cruising sailboat.

Everything you need to know.

This is the most comprehensive and clear guide that I have ever heard for Cruising. They cover every aspect of chartering a boat and or cruising on a boat. If you’re new to Celine, or are experienced with Celine and are interested in cruising, this is a wealth of knowledge.

Good information only style book

I have been around power boats most of my life, (power boats). I wanted something very basic, that was informational only. this is it.

Nothing too in depth.... but a great place to start.

Clear and concise delivery of sailing essentials

Where does Sailboat Cruising (AUDIOTOPICS) rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Best delivery of sailing essentials from the basics to insights gained from years of experience. I recommend Sailboat Cruising for sailing newcomers to develop a strong foundation of sailing essentials to experienced sailors as a review before their next sailing trip. This audio book is a great addition to your sailing reference library.

Superb information

As a complete novice I found every sentence of this book useful. Could not recommend it more for anyone considering learning to sail. It does a fantastic job of explaining nuts and bolts of what to do after you have learned to sail.

Great overview!

Wished we had this available before we bought our first sailboat. Being beginners, we learned the hard way. Still, this wad a great refresher as well as filled in some gaps! Sail on!
