  • Sailors ultimate bible

    Nigel is the sailors Guru. I’ve been reading his tech column in Sailing magazines for years and this book is the culmination of all his knowledge of everything regarding boating and sailing “need to know”. Best damn book you can have at your disposal. Every time I pick it up I stop and think...” I can’t believe this is in my hands!” Just get it and you’ll understand. Thanks Nigel.
