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.”

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.
