### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth Buying Before Your First Offshore Sailboat Purchase
*by S***E on February 18, 2010*

I found the book was a good basic summary of most things that make a boat capable of safe offshore passages. While nothing "groundbreaking" it is exactly the kind of book you need to read before you go buying your first offshore sailing boat. The really good thing is that it won't have you spending thousands on unnecessary gadgets and dispels a lot of hype and trends; just easy to understand down-to-earth advice.While I actually bought it after I purchased a small cruiser, it at least confirmed the boat will make a perfect pocket offshore passage maker (which the design has an established reputation) and has pointed me in the direction of a few necessary modifications on a sensible budget.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book for sailors
*by D***E on January 23, 2011*

I purchased this book for my Kindle and my advice there is DON'T. This book is technical and difficult for a beginning sailor although the information therein is outstanding. If you do not have a nautical background you will find yourself either baffled at times or running for your nautical dictionary (you do have one, don't you?) Mr Vigor knows his subject well and you will learn a great deal if you stick with it. I believe that this is an outstanding book and well worth your investment if you are serious about offshore sailing (and surviving it). Having said that, I wasted my money buying the Kindle version. As I said, this book can be quite technical and it is replete with drawings and charts. The Kindle version does not reproduce the drawings and charts at all well and this is quite frustrating. Moreover, the formatting is absolutely awful with line breaks seemingly inserted at random and nonsense symbols substituted for symbols such as the pound sign and so forth. Often one is left guessing at what was actually meant. In short, do not waste your money on the Kindle version unless you just plan to read the book for fun. If you are planning on using the book to plan an actual voyage or just make your boat better for near-shore sailing, spend the money on the hard cover version. You will be happier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tons of great detailed information
*by M***R on April 15, 2023*

Highly recommend for anyone interested in sailing blue water. So much information I read it twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
