This is an excellent resource for the sailing beginner to the sailing expert. Mr. Beiser clearly loves the sport of sailing and the lifestyle he has chosen. I highly recommend this classic for anyone considering spending a weekend or year on a yacht.

Beiser goes into the features and details that make up a good liveable, seaworthy yacht. Following chapters addressing hull, rig, deck, engines and accomodation he gives 58 examples of boats meeting those criteria. We're not considering mass produced "Tupperware" but well built fiberglass, wood laminate, ferrocement, steel and composite vessels. I love having this ready to hand on my shelf.
