This book is billed as an introduction but really it is a master class by a real expert. I thought I knew a lot about boats, but I’ve learned a lot more by reading this book. It is readable, technically sound and comprehensive (bearing in mind its brevity). Three carps: I bought it expecting it to be mainly about small boats but it it’s mainly about sailing and motor yachts. It focuses on American practice and is somewhat disparaging about European practice not always fairly. And finally it is somewhat out of date, although nonetheless very useful despite that.
