This highly popular guide is written mainly for people who want to give up the land and live almost permanently on their boats, cruising from one place to another. For these people this book, now in its third edition, is considered a bible. There is advice on everything from choosing and maintaining your boat to staying healthy and organising your finances, all accompanied by illustrations and colour photographs. Includes an updated chapter on boat electronics and also up-to-date advice on bureaucracy, finance and taxation.Authors: Bill and Laurel Cooper.
