4.0 out of 5 stars A very basic introduction, 27 Sep 2007
This review is from: The RYA Book of Buying Your First Motor Cruiser (RYA) (Paperback)
As someone with only small dinghy experience I really don't know where to start when considering moving up to a small cabin cruiser. Types of hull, common problems, additional costs to factor in, maintenance requirements, licences, registration, VAT legislation and many other aspects of purchasing and owning are covered.
Much of the information is concise, quite basic and no doubt most of it is available on the internet, but here it is all together in one easy to read paperback. If you already know a fair bit about boats then this isn't for you, if you know very little then it is a useful first reference. No, it doesn't cover speedboats, only cruisers (i.e. boats designed so you can sleep aboard), but that should be obvious from the title. You may well hanker after more in-depth detail but this will at least give you the grounding to search out that detail elsewhere and make sense of it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading cover photo - day/sportsboats not covered!, 30 Aug 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The RYA Book of Buying Your First Motor Cruiser (RYA. Book of.....) (Paperback)
After an introduction which tries hard to put off the novice (responsible, perhaps - but disheartening all the same), the author then indicates that the book covers only motor cruisers with overnight facilities ("cabin cruisers" in my laymans terms)... and not day/speed/sportsboats which surely must be a huge part of the market for first time users.

I'm still looking for good advice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very basic information, 11 Oct 2009
By Pa Robertson "petential" (Bedfordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The RYA Book of Buying Your First Motor Cruiser (RYA) (Paperback)
Hard to critisise this small book for providing basic information as this is inherent in the title. Neverthe less, I was a bit disappointed that it didn't go a step further and become a more useful reference book.
