Most of the books I would recomend have already been listed except

"An Island to Myself" by Tom Neale

Not a sailing book exactly, but the autobiography of a person who voluntarily stranded himself on a deserted island.

I have a hard back copy from an old library that closed down. In the back, just inside the cover, is a hand written message from a cruiser who read the book and decided to find Tom. He visited Tom on his island several times over the course of several years. He said that Tom died some years back. That message made the whole book much more personal to me.
