Like his Mechanical and
Electrical Maintenance Manual, Nigel Calder's Cruising
Handbook contains excellent illustrations and useful
information for those who have a boat to maintain. His
explanations of technical information make it possible for us
mere mortals to get to grips with these matters with relative
ease.
A reader who had written in to MarineZine on a related
topic was asked for her views on this book and she wrote:
"We were lucky enough to get our
hands on a copy of this book before we set off on our first
lengthy cruise," says Nan Burnley, "and we're both
sure that the success of that voyage was, in great part,
attributable to Nigel Calder's sound advice. The book can be
dived into at any point and you always come up with something
worth knowing. Our friends have a motor yacht and they asked
to borrow our copy so often that, in the end, we bought them a
copy of the Cruising Handbook for Christmas last year!"
