Can a keelboat tip over?
How can I determine what boat I want?
Once I do, what's a fair price to pay for it?
Should I buy it new or used?
How can I tell the difference between a used boat and one that's used up?
Now that I have it, how can I start sailing quickly and safely?
Your First Sailboat has answers to all your questions about selecting, buying, maintaining, and using your first boat. This user-friendly guide covers issues that other books ignore, including how to choose between a trailer sailer, daysailer, raceboat, cruiser, or multihull; what hull material is best for your first boat; whether to buy new or used; where to shop; how to judge quality and condition; where to keep your new boat; and what to do about gear, loans, insurance, and annual maintenance.

Straightforward and fun, Your First Sailboat gives you just what you need to stop asking questions and start sailing.
