	Pete I am in the process of finishing off a home built cruising boat with ocean passages in mind. This book looks like a must to add to my library. I would like to order a copy but I am not sure of the logistics and cost (VAT on books??) to do this from Canada. Do you have any information you could pass along that might help smooth the process. thanks for your help Rick

Either write or phone Barnacle Marine Limited Blomfield Place 25 St Botolphs Street Colchester Essex C02 7EA Telephone : 0206-760555 Specifying you require Yachting Monthly's The Complete Offshore Yacht and quoting either your Mastercharge no or VISA no with expiry date they wil then despatch the book to at a cost of 9.95 pounds plus postage. Good luck.........I have now read the book and it will be re-read many times , especially when in dreaming mode... Pete
