About the Author
Captain Tor Pinney, now a yacht broker, is a U.S. Coast Guard licensed Ocean Master. He has lived on sailboats much of his life and had logged nearly 150,000 nautical miles. His articles have appeared in national boating magazines.
The author considers the equipment, systems and modifications that will transform a basic sailboat - one already operational and of sound construction - into a long range cruiser. There is a wide range of topics covered, from the bare essentials to improvements on deck and below deck to safety afloat, electronics, and much more.Pinney's voice is laidback and engaging. The author's own cruising boats have ranged from engineless wooden boats to systems-intensive contemporary boats, and his experience is broader than that of most cruisers.
