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.

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.

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
cant 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.

The book was great - lots of modern ideas
that we will definitely be using as we get (our new Valiant) ready to go!

I only wish I had read it
65 years ago when I first started sailing!

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

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