Master every facet of life afloat with The Cruiser’s Manual, the definitive vintage handbook for recreational yachting. This book immediately became the most complete single volume resource for the serious mariner interested in coastal and long-distance cruising in the post-war era.

Lane’s manual is celebrated for its remarkable scope, covering both sailing yachts and motor cruisers in equal depth, making it an essential reference for owners of auxiliary yachts or those transitioning between sail and power. It treats the yacht as a home, a workplace, and a means of travel, addressing construction, equipment, maintenance, and safe navigation.

Contents include:

  • Why Cruise?
  • The Boat
  • The Cruising Boat on Deck
  • The Cruising Boat Below Decks
  • Rest-Awake and Asleep
  • Illumination
  • Plumbing
  • Ventilation
  • Warmth -- And Coolth
  • Cooking and Dining
  • Radiophone and Radio
  • Ship’s Medicine Chest
  • Engine and Sails -- Your Power Plant
  • Yacht Decoration
  • Housekeeping Afloat

This manual is an indispensable classic for yacht owners, aspiring cruisers, and maritime historians seeking a comprehensive reference on mid-20th-century cruising practices.
