A how-to book, packed with information to help you go beachcruising or coastal camping, no matter your level of expertise.

Everything you need to know about selecting a beachcruising boat, where to beachcruise, how to make camp, what gear to buy, and more, including how to go cruising and camping at low cost.

In this book, �beachcruising� means cruising a small boat along a coast with the intention of camping ashore. This book elaborates upon the unique aspects of camping that apply to boating.

Though it is possible to use 50-foot schooners to go beachcruising, Beachcruising and Coastal Camping focuses on small sailboats that are light enough to be lifted or rolled ashore, and sailboats under 30 feet that are designed to dry out flat on an ebb tide.
