Nautical Book Stacks
Show us your stacks!
This is the time of the year a lot of us are forced to more reading and less sailing. As such, you might have noticed a stack of nautical books has organically grown somewhere in your house or office. Perhaps the stack has materialized on a bedside table, maybe it’s on a desk of even the kitchen table. Maybe the stack includes books you’ve just read, or maybe those you intend to get to soon.
Regardless of how your nautical book stack came to be, every year we like to have readers share a photo (notes optional) of their book stack—it’s a great way for readers to learn about interesting boating books.

Here’s one of a few current stacks sitting on the office mantle (doesn’t every office have a fireplace?).
Just picked up a copy of Suddenly Overboard and am looking forward to the read.
Richard Henderson’s Sailing in Windy Weather is a great book I reference now and again. Unlike many general sailing titles, Richard gives equal time to smaller trailerable boats.
I have no idea where the Self-Reliance: Recession Proof Your Pantry book came from, but it’s in the stack. Apprently it comes from the Backwood Home Magazine. Looks interesting and could be useful even for cruisers.
Alone at Sea is the work of arguably the most daring, masochistic, informative small-boat cruiser of them all—Dr. Hannes Lindemann—who crossed the Atlantic in an African dugout canoe, and then a year later in a folding kayak. He set off on these voyages as experiments to learn more about the plight of shipwrecked sailors. Mission accomplished.
Small Boats Big Adventures is our collection of interviews from our early years. Features Steve Ladd, Phil Bolger, Bob Burgess, David Omick and others.
Optimizing the Trailerable Sailboat is 326 pages of customizing, upgrading or reparing trailersailers. Written by longtime SCA columnist, Paul Esterle.
How to Build Boat Trailers is one of our Glen-L books—a remarkably detailed instruction manual about a somewhat archane topic.
