“Motor cruising” assumes some basic experience and a grounding in seamanship, tackling the subject from the practical viewpoint of a skipper who would like to extend his or her horizons. There are chapters on different types of cruising boat, buying a boat, equipment and maintenance, manoeuvring, navigation, weather and sea conditions, styles of cruising and possible emergencies. Also covered are some important financial and administrative aspects of both owning and chartering motor cruisers.
