The third of US SAILING's popular Keelboat Series, Bareboat Cruising covers the skills and terminology required to plan and execute a successful bareboat charter.

This review is from: Bareboat Cruising: The National Standard for Quality Sailing Instruction (The Certification Series) (Paperback)

I just returned from our first bareboat experience and this book helped me pass three US Sailing exams so now I'm prepared for charters anywhere in the world. I was a boat owner previously but never took the exams for certification and never had a charter.

With the help of this handy book along with other US Sailing publications, I passed 101, 102 and 104 certifications. This book is a greay way to start your braeboat experience.
