Excellent book. Great tips on what to look for in a boat, and once you have a boat how to build it up to be low-maintenance and then how to stock it for long voyages. I took a bunch of notes and will have to revisit it in a few years once I have some practical experience, and hopefully a sailboat :P

Let's just be clear - I am madly in love with Annie Hill. And you will be too when you read this delightful and immensely informative guide to voyaging on a small income.

A little dated, and perhaps I'm inherently frugal, but a lot seems like common sense to me. However, it's an easy a quick read and reinforcing good ideas is never a bad thing.

“Voyaging on a Small Income” does exactly what it says on the tin – if offers practical tips and real-life examples of how to live and cruise on a sailboat on a modest budget. But it also does much more, providing insight into Annie and (her then husband) Pete's early days in their marriage and cruising life in Britain, the building of s/v Badger, and their day-to-day life on board her.
Annie shows how it is possible to have a rich and fulfilling life while living frugally. She covers a range of topics including a frugal mindset and philosophy; provisioning and cooking; different types of rigs; organization of space in a floating “tiny home”; anchoring and more. Although “Voyaging on a Small Income” was first published in 2001, the lessons Annie shares on simplifying your life while cruising are timeless.
Note: I won a copy of “Voyaging on a Small Income” and voluntarily chose to leave an honest review.
