Re: Arg! Unknown book help.
It is most certainly The Sailor Sketchbook by Bruce Bingham. I think I have mine forsale on
Amazon. ARCS Did you once have a boat in Waukegan?

I remember one written by Bingham, at least I think that was his last name. Or at least it is very close. Very good book but it was lost when hurricane Ivan trashed my boat.

Can someone please help me remember the name and author of a book I
first heard about on this list, probably during the summer of 2004?
Here is what I recall:
It's a book full of black-line illustrations (drawings) with captions
and bubbles of text. Each page details a different improvement or
modification for a small sail boat (such as different ways to hang a
table in a small boat, ways to mount a compass). The book is not
about building a boat, only improving boats. Most of the pictures
have a drawing of a cat in them (the author's cat); chasing a mouse,
playing with a sheet, etc. The book is out of print and published
around 1981.
I thought the title was something like "practical sailor, or
self-reliant sailor" but searches on these titles show other books.
