Recommended reading for a novice?

Posted by screetaboat (screetaboat@…>)

I will be buying my first boat in a couple months, a Freedom 28’ it looks like.
I’m sold on getting a Freedom so if not the 28’, I’ve also seen a 33’ that looks
really
good also but costs more obviously.
( I have to wait for my house to sell and see what it sells for crosses
fingers
)

Anyway, I am a complete novice and am looking for some good reading. Anything
out
there that would be particularly be good for a novice sailor of a Freedom in the
Caribbean?

Also, all tips and advice on boat purchase, better years of a 33’ or 28’,
sailing a
Freedom, maintenance, etc. would be more than welcome.

Thanks very much.
