Nice stories about small boats
This books owners tell about their experiences with 8 small boats. If you think you must buy a big boat, read this and you'll see it's not so.

As I learn about the capabilities of my 18' gaff yawl, this book provides inspiration for fit-out, handling, rigging and, above all, the immense capabilities of a variety of well-designed small craft. By following the example of these writers, you'll be sailing sooner, more often and have more fun.

This is the one sailing book that I have read a million times and never tire of it. I find inspiration from the writing but even more from the photos. It's tone is easy, it's message is that simple and inexpensive are achievable for every sailor. I wish another of these would be published!
