### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A very technical cruising guide
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2017*

This is a pretty good handbook on cruising the tiniest of sailboats. Its quite comprehensive. I'm an experienced cruising sailor, and I can affirm that Bacon's advice is 100% sound. That's what I like about the book.On the negative side, Bacon's writing is very dry, and very technical.  I'd like to read more of the 'art' of Pottering.  Bacon's writing is mostly 'do this, do that'. There is lots of rigging instruction, trailering instruction, etc.  I'd like more cruising anecdotes, to give me the feeling of sailing a tiny boat.  Its thin on the why, and the magic of cruising.The book is also badly in need of illustrations.  There are a few photographs, which help, but for clarifying complex instructions, an illustration is much better. it doesn't even contain very many photos.

    This is a fantastic, concise guide to squeezing the most out of one of the smallest adventure pocket cruisers!
  

*by "***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2015*

Just what I needed for my (new) used 1978 Potter 15.  To all you cruising skeptics out there, think of the Potter 15 as a cruising pup tent for two.  I've never owned a boat bigger than a Catalina 22.  I never found them roomy, and they do beat a Potter by a mile.  But stick the right cushions and bimini on that Potter and you can go just about anywhere.I added a Minnkota saltwater trolling motor, superlight lipo battery, and a solar charger (rated 30A at 12V, but really getting about 20A).  I can't run continuously, but I can rake in enough power to use the motor quite a bit and still have power left over for running LED lights.This book has all the practical advice you need to experience adventure on the cheap.  I wouldn't exactly blue water the boat, but coastal cruising in the right conditions isn't a stretch at all.  Maybe even a run down the Florida Keys.

    Author obviously has a lot of experience with these great little boats
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2016*

Author obviously has a lot of experience with these great little boats. I find the book helpful, but it is really suffering from a total lack of diagrams and useful photographs. There is a glossary, so thats really good.  I think this book could be 10X better with the addition of 5-10 diagrams and key photographs (rigging, knots, boat handling etc.). For those new to sailing, there is an awful lot of jargon and it gets really confusing reading about jibing your jib on starboard heave...  Anyway, the book could be sooo much better with some diagrams to accompany the text. I think back to John Muir's "How to Keep Your VW Alive" and really hoped that this little book would be something like that, but alas I was a tad disappointed.As is, I think its still a good book for Potter owners to own.
