[Rhodes22-list] Rhodies Essential Library

[rjquinn at bellsouth.net]

What Bill says has a lot of truth to it.  Stan puts out a simple guide that is most helpful.  But I would still recommend "The Complete Sailor" for those who want to know more.  It is an easy read - an hour or two.

I'd like to assemble a small library of essential reading material. I don't have much interest in sailing stories. What I am interested in is "how-to" and reference materials on subjects like sailing skills, navigation, boat maintenance and repair, etc. So, I'm soliciting input from the group. What books would you nominate? Thanks.
