Probably indispensable for people learning to sail while on the boat! But from my couch, there is just way too much new information that I can't visualize.

[Shannon]

Full of great information for anyone wanting to bareboat charter. Not a whole lot of new information if you have complete the ASA101 and ASA103 course books in this series, but it does build on it and expands on some aspects too. I feel like this book firms up a lot of what I read in the ASA103 book.

[Mary]

Great overview before you go on a bareboat cruise. May be a bit too much for those primarily looking to be a passenger, but it contains tons of great information, and would be a good investment in time even for those who are taking a vacation.

[Stephen]

The better of the 103/104 book series. Goes into the boat's mechanical systems which was invaluable. Also, it went into the navigation area more in depth. I enjoyed the book to be sure.

[Al]

Full of great info and easy to understand. This series is always the first step in professional training, and really jacks up the anticipation level. Come on summer!
