AlbakiReads Editorial
A reference guide to evaluating offshore cruising yachts
Published in 1987, this paperback manual concentrates on the qualities that distinguish offshore yachts, pairing that subject with coverage of cruising boats and their equipment. Credited to the Cruising Club of America, it is framed as a practical reference shaped by the perspectives of experienced sailors and yacht designers. Its scope centers on boat selection and the features relevant to cruising use, rather than on a single voyage or vessel.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Sailors comparing offshore cruising-yacht characteristics
- Boat owners interested in cruising-boat equipment
- Readers seeking a reference-oriented sailing manual
