This book is written to share their experience and explain the many ways a BIG boat differs from one of more moderate size. It’s written for cruisers with enough self-confidence to harbor dreams of operating a super-sized yacht. You may find yourself thinking it’s not such an outrageous dream after boat, Havfruen, is a sailing vessel but much of the big boat/small boat comparisons are applicable to motor vessels as well.
