John Vigor turns the spotlight on twenty seaworthy sailboats that are at home on the ocean in all weather. These are old fiberglass boats, mostly of traditional design and strong construction.

All are small, from 20 feet to 32 feet overall, but all have crossed oceans, and all are cheap. Choosing the right boat to take you across an ocean or around the world can be confusing and exasperating, particularly with a tight budget. Vigor sets out to remedy that in this book. He compares the designs and handling characteristics of 20 different boats whose secondhand market prices start at about $3,000. Interviews with experienced owners (featuring valuable tips about handling each boat in heavy weather) are interspersed with line drawings of hulls, sail plans, and accommodations. Vigor has unearthed the known weaknesses of each boat and explains how to deal with them. He rates their comparative seaworthiness, their speed, and the number of people they can carry in comfort. If you have ever dreamed the dream this book can help you turn it into reality.

Eleuthera, The Garden of Freedom

Eleuthera The Garden of Freedom

The first stirring sight of all those blues swirled up along soft pink sand is only the beginning. The vibrant photography of Alessandro Sarno opens the eyes to the sun-kissed heart of heaven on earth: this is Eleuthera.

This book brims with a garden of glimpses that lift the spirit with a fierce tenderness. These images capture the true beauty of day-to-day island life amidst sweet and spiky shorelines of natural wonder- the humble and the hallelujahs.

This is the visual poetry of Eleuthera, The Bahamas.
