Steel Away: A Guidebook to the World of Steel Sailboats

Rating:
Summary: A modern classic, but a little overwelming.
Review: This book is frequently referred to when the subject of cost comes up.
The amount of detail is almost overwelming. One could be deterred from cruising if this book were taken too literaly.
An excellent counterpoise to 'Steel Away' is 'The Cruising Life' by Jim Trefethen.
