    About this ebook

    This is the book about the biggest sailing experiences in the smallest sailing craft. With their shallow draft and easy handling, the smallest "pocket cruisers" give access to coastal experiences inaccessible for bigger sailboats.

    It has never been easier nor more affordable to acquire a small sailboat and enjoy the pleasures of yachting: Go on picnics for a few hours, go fishing, anchor in a beautiful place or on holiday cruises along near and far shores, visiting small islands and protected fjords and bays.

    "Pocket Cruising and Micro Adventures" is the handbook for you, who would like to practice the enjoyments of a simple sailing life and get far for your money. It comes with valuable advice for both future and already passionate pocket skippers.

    Martin Anker Wiedemann

    Martin Anker Wiedemann har sejlet siden drengeårene i alt fra vandcykel til rummelige familiebåde og er en inkarneret og passioneret sejler. Som Grindesejler og aktiv i Grindeklubben udgav han i 2015 sammen med marine surveyor Uwe Gräfer bogen Med en Cirkel for Øje om den moderne skandinaviske spidsgatters kulturhistorie. I 2019 udkom bogen Pocket Cruising & Mikroeventyr om stor sejlglæde i små sejlbåde. Den udkom i 2020 på engelsk i en udvidet udgave under titlen Pocket Cruising and Micro Adventures. Hans særlige passion er for de allermindste sejlbåde til tursejlads og naturnære oplevelser, og den bærende overbevisning er, at sejlglæden er ligeså stor, som båden er lille.
