Sell up and Sail by the Coopers is worth a read. Ignore their boat choice and read about how they coped with cruising. It is a bit dated now but still full of good info.

Also when I was starting out for the first time I had a copy of Shrimpy by Shane Acton onboard. Anytime I got worried about if I had enough boat or sailing ability for the job I would read a chapter. He circumnavigated on a 18 foot plywood boat and when he left had never had the mast up or sailed the boat.

Adding to your list

I recommend reading "Sensible Cruising" by Don Casey and Lew Hackler. It is geared towards setting up and outfitting a smallish (relatively speaking of course) size boat but is loaded with practical suggestions.

Tanya
