Over seventy­ five illustrations clarify the finer points of deck layout, storage, and setting up comfortable living quarters belowdecks. Included are sections on:

• Dealing with boatyards

Additional info: "George Day is a very impressive sailor who could well qualify as the 'voice of experience.' In The Well-Managed Sailboat, he mixes the theoretical with the practical-the grand lessons learned during 40,000 miles of open-ocean cruising with the details of day-to-day sailing. He explains what works and what doesn't. He actually names names. This is a must-have volume for any sailor's bookshelf." -DAN FALES
