Bareboat Cruising Made Easy is an easily-understood introduction to the world of bareboating. It doesn’t look like a textbook. It certainly doesn’t read like a textbook. And yet it is the basis for the American Sailing Association ASA104 Bareboat Cruising Course and, as such, extremely thorough.
An oversized paperback on quality paper and packed with hundreds of superb drawings and color photos, it has some 212 pages that take you through everything you’ll need to know to handle a bareboat charter on your own. Written by a distinguished list of expert sailors, it offers good advice, insider tips, and understandable illustrations.
Obviously it has all the details on bareboat systems, anchoring, navigation, weather and more, but it also has an insider’s look at where (and when) to go, what to bring, and how to provision. Whether you’re taking the ASA course or not, this is a terrific refresher for experienced skippers and something first-timers need to tuck into their duffel bag for the trip. Available from ASA.com for $39.95.
