Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a well-written, easy to understand book on everything you would ever want to know about the very technical topic of wind and water steering vanes for sail boats. I especially like the fact that the author does a good job of comparing various products on the market in terms of both performance and price. There is even information on buying used equipment and/building your own. I found this book invaluable in helping me determine which way to go for my 43' ketch.
