G87 RYA Offshore Sailing

This book is pitched at all sailors who really want to go somewhere in their yachts, and to do so with the minimum of discomfort and aggravation. It discusses the fundamental characteristics of suitable craft in some detail, leaving the reader with a clear idea of what goes to make a good offshore cruising yacht - and what doesn't. It will appeal particularly to those planning to make an ocean crossing for the first time - either individually or as part of an organised rally - who need to upgrade and equip their yacht to modern offshore standards for the voyage, and to prepare it for the particular requirements of cruising in the tropics.
