Buying a boat is one of the biggest decisions a sailor makes, and it pays to do your homework first. This collection covers the practical side of choosing, surveying and buying a yacht or motorboat, with titles on what to look for in a survey, how to assess a boat's condition and what questions to ask before you commit.
If you are thinking about buying your first boat, or moving up to something bigger, start here. You will also find books on yacht restoration and design that help you understand what makes a good boat, which is useful knowledge long before you start looking at listings.
