I am not a professional review, but I would bring to the attention of all readers of my blog a book I bought and read recently: 'A sail, even alone. Technical operations and equipment to navigate without a crew in safety and peace '- Alastair Buchan.
The author is a Yachtmaster instructor certificate and, unlike others who have dealt with the same subject, has a great browsing experience on small recreational boats, or very small, as in 2010 could be called a Hurley 20.
On 'Mintaka', Alastair Buchan, after completing a circumnavigation of Britain, has also made two solo Atlantic crossings, one towards the Caribbean and back, showing that there is no need squander an asset for the realization of what, for most people, is and will remain a dream.
Its navigation and his book giving new dimension to correct what are now considered 'small boats', placing them among those that could be considered for an ocean crossing or a trip around the world, his experience also shows how the preparation of the skipper is more than any other factor that determines the outcome of navigation, regardless of the type of boat.
About this topic, I read another book in the past that had a role very important in the choices I made and took me to the purchase of my Marieholm 26: 'Twenty Small Sailboats to Take You Anywhere' - by John Vigor. In this work, the author presents an overview of boats, with suitable adjustments, can become the means suitable for surfing 'over the horizon'.
What else? Given that often the only real obstacle to our navigation is not represented nothing more than those little fears that we are hardly willing to admit even to ourselves, we have to take the sea, following in the footsteps of those before us, have hesitations and abandoned, with the means at their disposal, they did route to their dream.
