For the fledgling cruising sailor with long-distance dreams, Tor Pinney's entertaining writing style, combined with his hard-earned experience gleaned from tens of thousands of miles of ocean sailing, proves to be an irresistible combination. From the top of the mast to the bottom of the keel - and everywhere in between - with considerable authority and crystal clarity, Ready for Sea! dissects the essentials for the contemporary voyaging sailboat.

- Herb McCormick, editor of Cruising World magazine and yachting correspondent for The New York Times

Just finished “Ready for Sea” and I wanted to write and say thank you. Great book. I have a (sailboat) that I am getting ready for sea. The book re-affirmed some things I had read about... The "last chance trip line” is such a great idea that it left me wondering “why didn’t I think of that.” Hope to see you out there one day.
- Mark B

I just got Tor's book a couple of days ago and I'm about half way through. It is very well done and a good book to keep aboard for reference.
- Orin D.

------------

Even though your book deals with sailboats, we're learning a lot that applies to preparing our trawler to go cruising.
- Kelly & Bob R.

------------

It's about time someone explained all this with a sense of fun, adventure and humor. The book is actually fun to read.
- John N.

I spoke with Tor for a long time on the Valiant 42 at the Newport boat show - he really knows his stuff- so I can't wait to read what he put in writing. I just ordered the book from Amazon.

Just got the book yesterday... really enjoying it. Tor's done a great job.
- Tom M.

Just wanted to say that I read your book in two sittings, and it's great. My two favorite tips: the nylon scraps for home-made flags, and the foot pump for the sink!
- Kathleen K.

Between boats, I have to make do with reading about cruising, and this is a very clear, very complete, book. Thanks for writing it.
- Michael H.

------------

The book was great - lots of modern ideas that we will definitely be using as we get (our new Valiant) ready to go!
- Rebecca T.

I only wish I had read it 65 years ago when I first started sailing!
- Barry S.

I looked at a lot of books, but yours was by far the best.
- Brett C.

Thanks, Tor, I got more useful/ practical info out of your book than any other. You helped me make the jump onto my boat and the wonderful life of cruising. Hope I cross paths with you some day. Thanks again.
