This is an excellent book. It covers areas I've not seen well addressed elsewhere, and I have a good library on sailing and cruising yachts. If you're looking for info for a cruising boat I'd highly recommend this one.. "Part two of the dynamic duo!" according to johnnydfred. The second of this great duo! This one goes into much more detail, and has the incredible illustrations of Bruce Bingham through (too bad Vol. I lacks this).
