How to Evaluate Design, Construction and Performance

by Eric Sorensen

To choose the right boat from the hundreds of models available you need a solid understanding of boat design, and then apply that knowledge to the available makes and models - this book enables you to do just that.
The first half of the book covers theory - basic hull shapes, engines, propellers, steering systems, deck arrangements, accommodation layouts. The second half of the book deals with the more practical aspects of how the available designs perform on the water, what each does well - or badly, what to look for and detailed reviews of nearly 100 popular boats.
