The Coopers go into great detail about what is
involved in becoming a yachtie. They did it in
1976 on a 55' steel ketch, which was probably an
easier time to do it, with much less regulation.
Yes, it does have a UK bias (they are English after
all). However, the latest edition (4th edition,
2000) is full of up-to-date, sensible and well
thought out ideas and what a person needs to think
about if planning this type of alternative lifestyle.
Definitely a must read for the wanna-be yachtie!
