Summary:
"Selling up and escaping to sea on their own boat is a
dream
that many think they can never make happen.
Escape
Under
Sail
is here to show you that it can be done, and for less money that you might think. This book delves to the very heart of what it takes and shows you exactly how you can go from casual cruiser to long-term
liveaboard
.
Escape
Under
Sail
covers all of the crucial topics, including budget and costs, how to choose a boat, making sure crew are equipped and trained, letting go both practically and psychologically, preparation and provisionioning, education and, most importantly, the challenges and rewards of living at sea. The book pays special attention to making the
liveaboard
dream
come true for those with a limited budget, while providing further options for those with the means and desire to spend more and splurge where they like. Written in the voices of both authors, so you can follow their experiences from each of their perspectives, which are sometimes wildly different, this practical handbook is peppered with personal anecdotes and hard-earned wisdom. Light-hearted but informative, it contains all the questions, answers, lists, figures and diagrams you need to make
your
liveaboard
dreams come true."--From publisher.
Leonard Skinner, Mary Cooney and her teenage twins live and travel aboard a 39-foot sailboat, Faoin Spéir. Since embarking as liveaboards they have developed one of the most subscribed Irish sailing channels on YouTube. Leonard has written for Yachting Monthly, Practical Boat Owner and the American magazine Good Old Boat.
