John Kretschmer's “Used Boat Notebook” column has long been one of the most popular features in Sailing Magazine. Each month, Kretschmer provides a hard-hitting, detailed review of a well-known boat. From trailer sailers like the O'Day 23 to coastal cruisers like the Ericson 35 or bluewater classics like the Valiant 40, Kretschmer covers a broad and fascinating array of craft. His reviews are lively and thoroughly researched, and each features owner insights, a guide to common problems, and suggestions for where to find parts, advice, and support.
This new collection also includes ten detailed recommendations for boats suitable for circumnavigation.
“If you plan on buying a used boat, this book is a necessity.” —Latitudes & Attitudes
