Most yachts at boat shows look almost identical - so how can a prospective buyer judge a yacht's sailing abilities from the sales brochure alone? A variety of questions present themselves:
- Is she a fast or slow boat?
- Will she hold her course well?
- Is she light on the helm?
- Does she ride the waves comfortably?
- Will she respond to a light breeze or does she prefer a heavy blow?
- Can she be sailed easily by a small family crew?
This book aims to help interested buyers answer these questions and many more from the comfort of their home without even stepping aboard!
