   A fair review, but narrow in scope – he certainly made friends at three sailboat manufacturers. They are all he mentions in the book. Otherwise, generally good stuff. Good winter reading, but don’t choose reading this over actually going sailing.

   I wish that they had written about more boats…
   
   The categories discussed in the book are all fine, and if this is the only book you are buying it is very well written, but more discussion of actual boats that fit the bill would have been more instructive as to the pluses and minuses of each individual boat.
   
   Otherwise, a nice update.

   If your thinking of upgrading from a single sailor boat to a “small boat” this is a great place to start and ontop of that a good read. Lots of pratical ideas on making the daysailer a weekend joy. Good advice on many aspects that will help to increase your sailing enjoyment and knowledage.

   This text is good for the prospective buyer of a small sailboat.
   
   It does outline the features and high points of a good cross section of trailerable sailboats.

   As an owner of the Rhodes22 I bought the book to see how it was actually reviewed by the author. I did benefit from the chapter on trailers and
   
   on cruising.
