Twenty Affordable Sailboats to
Take You Anywhere
In 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. All of these boats
were once prominent offerings, designed by some of the world
’s leading naval architects and produced by reputable
manufacturers. These boats are still readily available in
the used boat market.
“Gregg has done a fine research
job here, one pleasingly devoid of flim-flam. It ’s a
truly helpful tool for those of you wading with
trepidation into the murky waters of boat-buying.”
John Vigor - Author,
Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You
Anywhere
"This is how one finds an
affordable boat: one reaches back into a previous era
and finds a gem that has stood the test of time. Call it
a classic fiberglass yacht. Call it a good old boat.
Whatever you call it, this is part of the affordable
dream. Want to go sailing? Gregg Nestor will help you
find the boat to make your dream come true."
-Karen Larson - Founder/Editor, Good
Old Boat Magazine
"This book is a must for the boat
shopper looking for an experienced vessel."
-Bob Bitchin - Founder/Editor,
Latitudes and Attitudes Magazine
"From hundreds of candidates,
Gregg Nestor has chosen 20 of the best cruising boats
from the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Ranging from 30 to 38
feet, his criteria are spot-on: Seaworthy design and
solid construction at an affordable price. Nestor tells
you everything you need to know about all three, plus he
adds comments from those who understand these boats
intimately: the owners. This is the kind of book that
makes the cruising dream come true."
