Royce’s Sailing Illustrated and other Books you Should Own

A little departure from our normal fare- these are the books that have survived every boat, which means we use them enough to take care of them. Most of them are available at Amazon.


  • Royce’s Sailing Illustrated
    This is the sort of densely illustrated guide that should be in every sailor’s bunk or bathroom. Compact, understandable, and universally celebrated for good reason, even a quick skim will reach ypu something.

  • Charlie Wing’s electrical handbook.
    Our copy is well worn, and often referenced.

  • Marine Diesel Engine Maintenance
    Nigel Calder. Basically anything he has written, but this one is particularily great. Diesel Engine owners? Just buy this. Dont ask silly questions.


  • Modern Marine Weather
    Densley packed with information. Still getting through it.


  • The Boat that Wouldnt Float.
    For long sails and offwatch hours. Funny!
