Foreword by Laurel Cooper, author of iSell Up and Sailibiibri ibrSelling up and escaping to sea on their own boat is a dream that many think they can never make happen. iEscape Under Saili is here to show you that it can be done, and for less money that you might think.br brThis book delves to the very heart of what it takes and shows you exactly how you can go from casual cruiser to long-term liveaboard. iEscape Under Sail icovers all of the crucial topics, including budget and costs, how to choose a boat, making sure crew are equipped and trained, letting go both practically and psychologically, preparation and provisionioning, education and, most importantly, the challenges and rewards of living at sea.br brThe book pays special attention to making the liveaboard dream come true for those with a limited budget, while providing further options for those with the means and desire to spend more and splurge where they like. Written in the voices of both authors, so you can follow their experiences from each of their perspectives, which are sometimes wildly different, this practical handbook is peppered with personal anecdotes and hard-earned wisdom. Light-hearted but informative, it contains all the questions, answers, lists, figures and diagrams you need to make your liveaboard dreams come true.
