I know nothing about sailing, I am really enjoying it and would recommend it. However, the recommendation comes with some qualifications. Part of the reason I purchased the book was the comment in the description about "... how to buy a small sailing yacht at a modest price ..." The price is between $60,000 and $120,000 for the yacht (plus at least $8000 when you need to haul it out of the water for hull repairs (you can't use a truck and trailer, it has to be a crane or on some rails), $2000 in charts, $13,500 in other parts and labor, etc). This is not modest to me. This book is for rich people. So, if you are looking for someone to teach you how to sail cheaply, turn to Fatty Goodlander. Also, this book is like drinking from a fire hose of nautical terms. I love it, but do not understand about half of what is said. Near the beginning of Chapter 8 it says, "What's needed here is a multiple purchase with blocks or a simple barrel winch (with a line jammer above it to hold one halyard while you use the winch for the next)." Awesome! That is exactly what I will do next time! Hal actually does a good job describing everything. There are just a lot of new terms. A halyard is a rope, right? Is the winch really as big as a barrel? Ha! Just kidding! Happy arm chair sailing everyone! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for Advanced Sailors *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2011* I found the book to be very informative. It wasn't ideally what I was looking for but I accept that is an error on my part rather than on the writers. I am a novice to sailing and wanted to see how feasible the dream of sailing around the world, or at vey least to far away destinations with blue water passages, would be. But I found the book to be too technical in places for my level of understanding but would suit a more experienced seaman extremely well. I would have liked a few more more diagrams or at least an indexed section to explain some of the terms or more technical aspects a little more thoroughly especially in the sections where the writer falls off track and starts to offer what could be useful advice if I understood what he was on about. As I believe this is more down to my knowledge than the book I have still given it a strong 4. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly thorough and easy to read *by 2***S on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2011* This book covers (almost) everything. The title is somewhat misleading as it would be a valuable book for any sailor who wants to do the occasional overnight passage - not just circumnavigators. It covers topics at extreme length and detail but the writing style and the inclusion of numerous tales makes it an interesting read.If I had to make a criticism it would be that the views are a little out of date. Like most books on long distance sailing, Roth believes in keeping things simple. If he doesn't use it, it's not in the book, so there's almost nothing about onboard electronics, refrigeration, water makers, generators, LED navigation lights, SSB, Satellite phones, Internet at sea etc. This is fair enough as he's speaking from his own experience, but it stops the books becoming the authoritative bible on the topic.He goes to great length about every type of boat construction and rig (which is really interesting), but a glaring omission is any real reference to multihulls.Nevertheless it is the most comprehensive book I have read on the topic. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3607252-how-to-sail-around-the-world-advice-and-ideas-voyaging](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3607252-how-to-sail-around-the-world-advice-and-ideas-voyaging) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
