The
following was a review published in SAILING:
“Naval architect Thomas E. Colvin has revised his popular COASTWISE
& OFFSHORE CRUISING WRINKLES (T.
Colvin, 114 pages), adding new comments and insights to his already large
collection of topics. Colvin
addresses the how-tos of virtually every issue in cruising, and discussed his
own opinions regarding conventional wisdom.” The cost of $35.00
includes postage in the U.S. and Canada.

COASTWISE
AND OFFSHORE CRUISING WRINKLES was originally published in 1972 and has been out
of print since 1983. Since that
time I had received numerous requests for this book; therefore, I decided to
reprint it myself in 1996. It
contains all the text that was in the original book plus chapter-by-chapter
comments in italics, updating my thoughts regarding each subject. In this way, the reader can judge for himself the validity of
the original statements that I made. In
addition to this, several chapters from CRUISING AS A WAY OF LIFE were
incorporated as well as several other chapters on new subjects.
Unlike the original, this book contains many photographs of vessels I
have designed. It is available for $35.00, which includes postage.
