Review
Author Don Launer is known to boaters for his Cruising Guide to New Jersey Waters, an information-packed work for those who would set sail in and around the Garden State. Over the years Launer, who sails his 32-foot schooner Delphinus out of Forked River, has written many how-to articles, especially in the magazine Good Old Boat. Now Launer has put a selection of his articles between the covers of a book, Lessons From My Old Boat. It is a combination how-to, hardware, electronics, rigging, accommodations guide presented in a down-home style, easy to read and entertaining.--Newark Star-Ledger
Donald Launer has compiled some of the hundreds of articles he has written over the years, most of them in Good Old Boat magazine, into the Lessons from My Good Old Boat book. Articles are grouped into categories chapters such as sails and rigging, navigation and environment. Most of the pieces have been updated. It's Launer's third book.--Boating Writers International
This book, made up by the great many articles Don Launer has prepared over the past decade, speaks volumes about this sailors ability to communicate the knowledge he has gained over many years. We're delighted to offer a regular forum for Don and his nautical talents.--Good Old Boat
