Product Description:
A new classic from one of the world's most respected sailing authors
More than 35 years ago, Hal Roth quit his job as a journalist and went sailing. Since then, he's logged more than 200,000 sea miles. Along the way, Roth also has authored eight voyaging classics, including the 1978 bestseller After 50,000 Miles.
Taking that book as its starting point, this handsome new volume incorporates the new technologies and discoveries of the last quarter century along with another 150,000 miles of experience.
A compendium of mature, time-tested sea wisdom from one of the world's most respected sailing writers, How to Sail Around the World will tell the reader: - How to choose and equip a sailboat for long-distance cruising, with an emphasis on simplicity and a modest budget
- How to plan and conduct a voyage anywhere in the world
- How to master the arts of navigation, anchoring, and daily life aboard in exotic places
- How to cope with storms at sea--the most complete and authoritative treatise on this critical topic ever published

I bought this book with the intention of sailing around the world in the 3 years, Hal Roth is an awsome writer he covers everything in this book sail rigging anchors paperwork that you have to go through when entering different countries, the types of boats that make good blue water cruisers
how to plan your trip how to cook and there is lots of recipes in this book of cooking at sea. He talks about the cost to sail around the world now figures are from 2002 but still you get an idea. I was pretty amazed of how cheap it is for two people to sail around the world you would think it would be much much more. This is a book for anyone wheather you sail around the world or just sail around out on your favorite lake this is a great book. I can't even tell you all that he covers he covers alot.
This is one book you deffinatly should have for planning any kinda trip.
He stresses with good planning you can avoid alot of hurricanes he says in the 30 or 40 something years of sailing he has only run into one hurricane type of storm because of lots of planning

Recently I've bought a book from Amazon com. "How To Sail Around The World" by Hal Ruth its an excellent book every thing you need to know about this topic is mentioned in details a lot of photos and sketches.
The book got 29 chapters each chapter have a heading such as:- To find a yacht suitable for the voyage in full details- The best self-steering to choose with digrams explains its operation and you could build one from the diagrams if you wish- Storm management- Navigation and pilot charts as well the place where to buy these charts and their referance numbers and many many more topics covered in the 29 chapters of this book.
The style and the way this book is written is marvellous once you start reading it you don't feel like to stop. In my view Its an excellent book highly recommended to buy.
