Top Twenty Boats

G'day Folks

There is a book called 'Twenty Sail Boats to take you anywhere' (close)?

Can someone just list the boats for me please?

Thanks all.

Jim.

Don't forget you need room on the stern for a SolarStik miracle solar panel setup... and you definitely want a ketch rig, so you can put the wind generator up on the mizzen...

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Jim...here's 2 of the 20...he left a lot of good boats off the list and included these:
Cal 20 Catalina 27

That's why you need the book...to understand how each needs to be modified before it becomes a boat to take you anywhere.

Actually, my recommendation is that you buy the book. It's only about $14 and it lists the pros and cons of the various boats mentioned.

IIRC, the largest boat in the book is the Southern Cross 31, and the smallest is probably the Pacific Seacraft Flicka, with the others ranging in size between them.

And now you know at least four of the twenty boats... believe the Contessa 26 was also one of them..

You can search it on Amazon and check the table of contents.

CapnHand-

Apparently, Amazon.com isn't allowing a look inside that particular book anymore.

If all you want to do is go "anywhere" why the hell do you need a boat. Don't buy a boat. You read it here first.
