For
the fledgling cruising sailor with long-distance dreams, Tor Pinney's
entertaining writing style, combined with his hard-earned experience
gleaned from tens of thousands of miles of ocean sailing, proves to be an
irresistible combination. From the top of the mast to the bottom of the
keel - and everywhere in between - with considerable authority and crystal
clarity, Ready for Sea! dissects the essentials for the
contemporary voyaging sailboat.

Just
finished “Ready for Sea” and I wanted to write and say thank you.
Great book. I have a (sailboat) that I am getting ready for sea. The book
re-affirmed some things I had read about... The "last chance trip
line” is such a great idea that it left me wondering “why didn’t I
think of that.” Hope to see you out there one day.

I just got Tor's
book a couple of days ago and I'm about half way through. It is very well
done and a good book to keep aboard for reference.
- Orin D.
------------
Even though your
book deals with sailboats, we're learning a lot that
applies to preparing our trawler to go cruising.
- Kelly & Bob R.
------------
It's
about time someone explained all this with a sense of fun, adventure and
humor. The book is actually fun to read.
- John N.

I spoke with Tor
for a long time on the Valiant 42 at
the Newport boat show - he really knows his stuff- so I
can't wait to read what he put in writing. I
just ordered the book from Amazon.

Just got the book
yesterday... really enjoying it. Tor's done a great job.
- Tom M.
------------
Just wanted to say that I read your book
in two sittings, and it's great. My two favorite tips: the nylon scraps
for home-made flags, and the foot pump for the sink!

Between boats, I have to
make do with reading about cruising, and this is a very clear, very
complete, book. Thanks for writing it.
- Michael H.
------------
The book was great - lots of modern
ideas that we will definitely be using as we get (our new Valiant) ready
to go!
- Rebecca T.
------------
I only wish I had read
it 65 years ago when I first started sailing!

I looked at a lot of
books, but yours was by far the best.

Thanks, Tor, I got more
useful/ practical info out of your book than any other. You helped me make
the jump onto my boat and the wonderful life of cruising. Hope I cross
paths with you some day. Thanks again. Joe and first dog Leah aboard s/v
Seneca
- Joe V.

I read your book and
then bought my first sailboat...
