SBR Library

We just bought a library from a boat builder and received the books over the last few days. Some are duplicates of classics that we already have but there are a lot that we have never seen, including one from 1901. We will showcase them as we go through them, add a photo of the cover and table of contents.

We also will add them to our custom Small Boat list on Worldcat, the largest online world catalog. If you follow the link to Worldcat Small Boat, you can review our book list, find a book that you like, click on it and see if a library close to you has it. Read our review. And see which booksellers have the best price.

Today's Classic. The Dory Book by John Gardner. All you need to know about dories. This book was a great help while we worked on Barbashela.

Sailing Library

When you're not sailing, you could be reading about sailing :) I am developing a list of interesting and useful sailing books, most can be found on Worldcat, the world's largest online catalog. Do a search for your title then enter your zipcode to check out the "Find a copy in the library" locator. Remember your library can also probably get your book through Inter Library Loan (ILL). Also, most state funded college libraries are open to the public. Worldcat also has a "Buy it" link in case you want to purchase the book through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc...

Our Short List:
The open boat: across the Pacific by Webb Chiles

The Sunfish Bible by Will White

Montgomery and the Portsmouth by Fred Blackburn Rogers
