Increasing competition for mooring and dock space has driven the price of their favorite sport out of reach for far too many sailors. The solution? Downsizing to an affordable boat stored between sails on a trailer. Not only is the boat safe and convenient, but cruising options expand dramatically--the whole continent becomes available at 55 miles per hour dead to windward. Whether you're a new sailor just starting out or an old hand choosing the '90s phenomenon of "downshifting," this completely revised and updated edition of Bob Burgess's Handbook of Trailer Sailing, first published in 1984 and widely acclaimed as the trailer sailor's bible, will chart your whole course. There's detailed information on finding your dream boat, outfitting and setting up, trailers and trailering, elementary and advanced sailing, anchoring, customizing for comfort, taking care of your outboard motor, sail camping, cruise planning, and more.

Over the years strange disappearances have occurred between Florida and the Bahamas Islands. During the worst of these bad times this author made that trip every two or three weeks to report on sail-boating and scuba diving activities for various magazines.Join him as he describes strange, often fatal events that befell cruising sail-boaters who sometimes chose the wrong islands to harbor in and why they were sometimes mysteriously murdered. He writes of these things in a way that lets you the reader see the details as though you were there. He also provides new information on the loss of the U.S. Air Force’s Flight 19. From findings newly released through a Freedom of Information Act experts now believe those five Avenger bombers may have gone down in a totally unexpected place, and it isn’t in the ocean! Also included are the answers to a 20-year-old disappearance mystery and the strange events surrounding a more recent one. Whether you are exploring Atlantis or looking over the shoulder of a duck hunter who suddenly disappears, you won’t lay this book down until you read the last, breathless word about these mysteries.
