Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a companion volume to "World Cruising Routes" and is a compendium of the views and opinions of nearly 200 owners and crews of deep sea cruising yachts on a wide variety of subjects connected with long-distance cruising. The subjects covered range from a discussion of the size and type of boat, the choice of sails, engines and instruments, the finances involved and the kind of psychological problems likely to be experienced when such journeys are undertaken.
