How to Sail on a Budget. Как сэкономить на бюджете

Издание на английском языке
In the current economic climate you may ask yourself: 'Can I afford to go sailing?' It has the reputation for being an expensive sport - but it doesn't have to be. There are many ways that the canny sailor can save money both in his choice of boat and in his sailing style. There are plenty of bargains to be found out there; you just need to do plenty of research and really know what you are looking for. Don't be tempted into an impulse buy. The owner may be offering it at a knock-down price - but there may be a very good reason for this. My chapter on DIY surveying will guide you through the minefield of initial boat selection and will help you to save money straight away by avoiding bad boats.
