Open Boat Cruising by John Glasspool

This is a discussion of the benefits of sailing smaller crafts, with practical advice on preparing a boat for cruising together with descriptions of special techniques of navigation and seamanship and useful hints on keeping comfortable. The sort of craft this book is about, is open or half-decked, between 12 and 19ft long with provision for her crew to camp aboard. Smaller versions, 10 foot or so, can be rowed for decent spells, while the larger vessels are in the upper end of the 17-19ft range. Practical advice on preparing a boat for cruising together with descriptions of special techniques of navigation and seamanship are given as are useful hints on keeping comfortable. Drascombe and Laurent Giles Sandpiper bracket.
