The centerpiece of the book is yacht delivery captain and marina owner James Elfer's analysis of 20 offshore-capable sailboats available for under $50,000. This one-of-a-kind list of boats is based on an exhaustive survey of industry professionals, and the boats are readily available for purchase in most regions.
- Unique, well researched and well-founded list of capable boats
- Includes first-person accounts from owners
- Table of data for each boat, including important capsize number (an indicator of stability)
- Multiple photos and lines plans
