Customer Reviews

Don't buy this book unless you have the time!
I only bought Single-handed Sailing because the Amazon site recommended it to me, I was actually browsing for another title. When it arrived, though, I opened the cover and started to read. And I read... and I read... and I read until I had finished all 180 pages. I found Mulville's style irresistable and the content fascinating. Though I love sailing, I had never really thought much about single-handed issues until now. How envious I feel of the author's life of solitude upon the high seas. Well worth the money to buy it and the time to read it!

Brilliant, just brilliant
I bought this book for my husband and quite frankly I lost him for a week. He describes it as worth every penny. The tips included are relevant to even fully crewed yachts. Coming up to and attachting to a mooring bouy will never be the same again after the 'quick release clip' tip. Buy it, read it, and try to sail without thinking about it, I challange you! This man knows his stuff.

Fascinating book
I saw this booked listed just by chance and bought it on impulse because of the 5 star reviews given by other readers. Well it does not disappoint part instructional, part philosophical; it is a gem of a book.

It is full of sound ideas learnt from long experience and these are relevant if you are on your own or sailing as part of a crew.

My only tiny criticism is that it does need to be updated in a few places; but then perhaps that it part of its charm.

If you need a fascinating read for yourself or are short of a present for someone else interested in sailing, then buy this; it is inexpensive also.
