About the author
Steve Henkel has a degree in mechanical engineering from Princeton and a master's degree in business administration from Rutgers. He has won prizes for his paintings, built a sloop and a yawl in his back yard, and written articles (sometimes as a Contributing Editor) for almost every national sailboat publication from Sail magazine and Yachting to Small Boat Journal, Good Old Boat, Practical Sailor, and Woodenboat. He grew up in Short Hills, New Jersey and spent 30 years in Darien, Connecticut, where he and his family became intensely involved in sailing. Steve commuted to New York City to jobs in engineering, business analysis, and financial planning, while writing in his spare time. He now lives in Sarasota, Florida with his wife Carol. The Sailor's Book of Small Cruising Sailboats is the author's fourth book, and third in the boating field. The others are Bikes (1972), Boating For Less (two editions, 1988 and 1991), and Boat Trailers and Tow Vehicles (1991).
