Numerous Books

I have about a dozen and a half books in very good condition on sailing and cruising. Books on optimizing sail performance. Electrical Systems and Diesel auxiliary power are covered.

This is my first post on the forum and I do not know if it is even permissible to list for-sale items this early.

I am happy to PM you with a list. These books are going to go cheap!

Tnx,

Doc

Re: Numerous Books

I think it's probably okay to post the whole list here along with your asking prices for each, and shipping costs.

So long as they're all boating-related, I don't think the moderators would have a problem with that.

Re: Numerous Books

Here are some photos and some prices.



Fours books for the beginner

Complete Book of Boats is a comprehensive reference to all facets of boating including sailing. - 3.00

Learning to Sail and sailing Made Easy are beginners books on sailing and focus in large part on small boats. (18 feet and under) 3.00 each

Then the last book is a funny tongue in cheek dictionary. 2.00



The book on the left is a book on how sails develop horse power and how that power is transferred to the hull.

When I sold my last boat it went to a guy who is an avid racer. He mentioned this book without being prompted. He did not even know that I had the book. 4.00

The book on te righ is a fairly generic paperback on various classes and designs. Images on every page. 2.00



Here are three good technical books. Two on electrics with a great book from Don Casey and then the book on the right which is dated so may not be useful to owners of newer boats. The Casey book has an excellent section on bonding and grounding and cathodic protection. The book n auxiliary power also has a section on electrics. It is fairly comprehensive as it includes power transmission. The book all the way on the left is the Boaters Handbook. Generic but still helpful.

Handbook - 3.00
Auxiliaries - 4.00
Casey electrics - 4.00
Old boat electrics - 2.00




Finally some books on navigation. All of these books literally speak for themselves.

Chapmans - 4.00
Bowditch - 4.00
Colregs 2.00

For anyone (Conus) who buys both Chapman and Bowditch, I will throw in the Colregs for free and ship the entire stack for 5.00 Media.

Otherwise shipping via media within the US is 2.50 per book.

Payment must be via paypal.

PM me and I will make the arrangements.

Re: Numerous Books

I have submitted a post with photos and prices. The moderator will approve the post (I think because of the photos.) Once it is approved it will become viewable on the forum.

Sorry for the delay

Re: Numerous Books

I had these books for sale on eBay and couldn't get a nibble.

I guess the secret is, going to the right place.

I am happy to know these books will go to a good home.
