Review
"From hundreds of candidates, Gregg Nestor has chosen twenty of the best cruising boats from the 1960s, '70s and '80s. Ranging from thirty to 38 feet, his criteria are spot-on: Seaworthy design and solid construction at an affordable price. Nestor tells you everything you need to know about all three, plus he adds comments from those who understand these boats intimately: the owners. This is the kind of book that makes the cruising dream come true." ---Dan Spur - Author, Spur's Guide to Upgrading Your Cruising Sailboat
"This is how one finds an affordable boat: one reaches back into a previous era and finds a gem that has stood the test of time. Call it a classic fiberglass yacht. Call it a good old boat. Whatever you call it, this is part of the affordable dream. Want to go sailing? Gregg Nestor will help you find the boat to make your dream come true." ---Karen Larson - Founder/Editor, Good Old Boat Magazine
Gregg has done a fine research job here,one pleasingly devoid of flim-flam.It s a truly helpful tool for those of you wading with trepidation into the murky waters of boat-buying. --John Vigor- Author,Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere
Reader Reviews
Writing this type book is so easy. There must be a hundred well known sailboats out there that could easially fit this description. Think about it. Well built, affordable classic fiberglass boats abound. We could add the Pearson 35-36, the Columbias, the Ericsons and numerous others to this mix. Bullet proof Westails fall neatly into this catagory. How about the Downeast 38? Now there is a well built offshore boat. However with all it's shortcomings, I did enjoy the book. Well most of it anyway. I was stunned by the boat on the cover but could not find it in the book. That is the misleading part. It kind of looks like a cross between a Morgan and a Hughes. A lovely boat. Wish it was included.
