You Don’t Have to Be an Expert to Understand Sailboat-Cruising

My name is JOHN C PAYNE, author of a dozen books on sailing and I have been sailboat-cruising my own yachts in lovely places for many years. I am not an armchair expert, but a qualified and practicing marine electrician, engineer and marine surveyor, and I sail and cruise my own yacht for fun. For several years I operated my own marine electrical and electronics business, and after many hundreds of cruising yachts, I have probably repaired most sailboat problems you will ever encounter. If you want expert and unbiased advice on yacht chartering and sailboat equipment and systems, then this is where you will find it. I know what can happen when you go out offshore and hopefully I can ensure that you can enjoy your cruising and control any issues you may have so you can keep sailing. Cruising should be fun, so don’t let problems and failures ruin your vacation in paradise.
