Praise for Dinghy Cruising

"There really is a wealth of knowledge imparted in a very easy style." – Nautical Magazine

"Author Margaret and her husband Frank, who died last year, cruised their 16ft Wayfarer a staggering 34,000 miles all over the world, including a famous North Sea crossing in which Frank was dismasted but made landfall in Norway under jury rig. This book draws on all Margaret’s experience, including practical advice on choosing, preparing and equipping your boat, and living aboard." – Bill Anderson, Yachting Monthly
