Product Description:
n Twenty Affordable Sailboats to Take You Anywhere you will find in-depth reviews of twenty affordable,comfortable, and seaworthy sailboats.These boats range in size from 30-38 feet,an ideal size for the cruising couple,yet big enough to accommodate an occasional cruising hitchhiker or two.

The design, construction, and specifications of different affordable sailboats are surveyed here in Twenty Affordable Sailboats to Take You Anywhere: a perfect pick for any general-interest public library where boating is a patron's hobby. These are in-depth reviews of each of twenty comfortable, seaworthy sailboats which range in size from 30-38 feet - and focus on boats still readily available in the used boat market, making this of special interest and very useful to any would-be boater.
