Book excerpt: Dear Fellow Boater: I know I spent too much my first year as a boat owner. Most of it went to marine stores and boat yards. Like you, I quickly discovered how much it costs to keep a boat in good running order. And how expensive many of the upgrades and "toys" I wanted were. Staring at a stack of receipts, I decided there had to be a cheaper way to maintain and upgrade a boat, without sacrificing safety. It took four more years of boat ownership, but I gradually developed strategies to save money on almost every purchase related to the boat. Some were solutions to specific problems, like when the prop had so much growth it looked like a cauliflower. Other people in the marina were having the same problem. Most either hired a diver or had the boat hauled for a power wash both at substantial cost. It turned out a dollar's worth of steel wool lashed to the bottom of an old pair of shoes did the trick on my boat. We scrubbed the prop with our feet. Some of the best deals were at dollar stores. Most carried painting supplies for .99 cents each. At that price I could afford to throw brushes and pans away after messy bottom painting. I was learning to break problems down and look for boating supplies in unlikely places. A fellow boater suggested I start writing this stuff down. Several months later I sold the first copy of "Dollar" Store Boating. It's a collection of ideas, strategies and worksheets that can help you maintain and upgrade your boat for less money. Fair winds and following seas, Dominic Villari P.S. If this book saves you just $25, it's already paid for itself.

Book excerpt: " The author and his First Class Mate have provided those who may be new to boating with hundreds of tips to help make their cruising experiences safe and pleasurable " -Jennifer Castle Field, President, Chapman School of Seamanship "Prestegaard's writing has style and elegance, and a way of stoking the imagination. If you're one of the old or idle retirees looking for a change in your routine, read Pete's (Not So) Old Men and the Sea." -Ron & Eva Stob, Founders, America's Great Loop Cruisers' Assoc. "A fun read about the joys and memorable experiences of the cruising lifestyle. It should inspire others to venture off on this journey of a lifetime." -Bill Parlatore, Editor in Chief, PassageMaker Magazine "Enjoyed the read. Entertaining and informative." -Rich Wall, Boat US/West Marine "It's simply Cruising 101" -Jim Meier, Sea Ray Boats Inc. (Not So) Old Men and the Sea covers portions of six years of the author's life, a time when he, his wife and sea dog Bingo experienced first-hand lessons as they prepared for, then negotiated, the legendary Great Circle/Loop of Eastern, Canadian, Midwestern and Southern waters aboard their 38' cruiser, The Family Fjord. In all, they transited over 100 locks, 6000 nautical miles and one over-the-road haul across Wisconsin. NSOM can easily be a blueprint for the novice cruiser who dreams of taking extended coastal or river voyages "on his own bottom." It starts with the glories of cruising and rapidly gets specific about boat, power, options, human factors and experiences, coupled with vignettes of what everyday distance cruising is like. The book features an overriding focus on safety, and author Pete Prestegaard also helpfully includes money-saving tips throughout.

Download or read book Cost Conscious Cruiser written by Lin and Larry Pardey and published by Lin and Larry Pardey. This book was released on 1999-07-07 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pleasures and adventures of cruising under sail are amazingly affordable, say Lin and Larry Pardey. But to keep your dream on budget, you have to decide: Are you a cruiser or a consumer? In this book, a logical successor to their Self-Sufficient Sailor and Capable Cruiser, they discuss making your getaway plans, finding a truly affordable boat, keeping your outfitting costs and maintenance time under control, and learning to feel confident as you cruise farther afield. Their comparison of the gear considered necessary by many yachting experts and the gear carried by several cost-conscious cruisers will help you guage wheter you are buying the true necessities or overloading your boat with high-tech items that can break down and steal your sense of confidence offshore. The chapters on getting the most from your cruising funds, the attributes of successful long-term voyagers, how to upgrade your boat with your own hands, plus answers to the then questions most frequently asked by potential cruisers will help you prepare to explore under sail. as Lin and Larry explain, "The decisions you make now will determine if yu'll come back from your cruise feeling more empowered or more enslaved by today's consumer society."
