4 Best of the Best Sailing Books

I want to give you a heads up about some super valuable resources…

And I hope you cherish these incredible sailing books as much as I do.

In fact, the only reason I can imagine why you wouldn’t be impressed by the depth and detail in these sailing books is you already own them.

And if that’s the case, share the knowledge… reward a fellow sailing enthusiast with these amazing sailing books from Steve and Linda Dashew.

When Steve and Linda retired from their extraordinary sailing careers, they wrote… 

“We have been blessed with the support of the cruising community for many years, and we’d like to return the favor in a small way.

We are making Mariner’s Weather Handbook, Surviving the Storm, Practical Seamanship and Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia available for free as PDF files.

We hope Mariner’s Weather Handbook helps you avoid the need for Surviving the Storm, and that Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia and Practical Seamanship enhance your tools for successful cruising. If these books help a few of our fellow cruisers have a more enjoyable experience, and perhaps stay out of difficulty, we will have been amply repaid.”

I’m a big fan of the Dashews and was lucky enough to sail two-up with a Sundeer 64 owner over 900 ocean miles… and I loved the bluewater balance of that Dashew design.

So now that you’re in the Switched On Sailing Magazine community, I want to ensure you have access to their sailing books.

You can download them with our Switched On Sailing magazine link https://switchedonsailing.app/Dashew-Books … there’s no optin or details required.

These sailing books are just another valuable resource from the number one multimedia sailing magazine… Enjoy! 

Adventure Awaits,
Warren Cottis

PS. If you’re wondering which one to read first then I suggest you take a look at my post on Practical Seamanship for more insights here
