- Reviews
Dinghy cruising is a wonderful way to experience nature and new coastlines at close quarters and low cost. Sailing where larger boats cannot reach, and sleeping under canvas onboard or ashore, this is boating taken right back to the basics, and all the better for that. This guide, for all aspiring or already-enthusiastic dinghy cruisers, shows how to get started and how to expand your horizons.
The information and advice is interwoven with wonderfully evocative stories of the author's adventures afloat, from idyllic weeks pottering around secluded rivers and coastlines to hair-raising voyages to remote islands. Contents Include:
• Finding a good boat
• Fitting out for daysailing
• Boatcraft under engine and oar
• Mooring and anchoring
• Preparing for open water
• Out at sea
• Coastal navigation
• Dinghy homemaking
• Keeping comfortable and safe
Illustrated throughout with inspirational colour photos and helpful illustrations, this book shows just why small boats are the perfect passport to remote and beautiful places.
• Paperback, 256 pages, 156x234mm
