PBO and Pocket Cruisers

This months PBO has some great articles on Smaller boats and in particular has a detailed article on smaller cruisers that can be had (as project boats from as little as £500)

There is also a great article on a Kelt 550 having its rig tweaked for better performance to windward too.

Peter Poland (of Hunter Boats fame) is obviously very well experienced in smaller yachts and rather than discuss his own option on boats he offers other peoples insight into their own experience of smaller craft so that they can 'own small and charter large.'

The list is varied but I took heart from a number of boats that are not on my 'Nano' budget and would be keen to investigate.


New to the list from the article has come the following pocket rockets.

1. Prelude 19
2. Sailfish 18
3. Express Pirate

The magazine is also packed with relevant projects tips and reviews such as Non Slip paints and Electric vs Propane outboards and all the usual.

Priced almost the same as a paper back book all magazines are becoming an expensive luxury, but I do love a good thumb through, but the digital lovers you can subscribe at a much reduced rate here http://www.pbo.co.uk/digital-editions/uk
