A common saying in the boating world is that the two happiest days in a man's life are when he buys a boat (especially a yacht) and when he sells it. When a person buys a boat or a yacht, the buyer is often unaware of the costs of that boat or yacht-hence, the second happiest day is when he sells it.The "two happiest days" saying originally applied (cited in print from the first half of the 19th century) to being married and to holding political office. The "yacht" version has been cited in print since at least 1931. The "two happiest days" saying also has been applied to buying cars, collectibles and to many other events.Other sayings about boat ownership include "A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money" and "BOAT: Break Out Another Thousand (dollars)."

Sailing or motoring around a beautiful harbor or heading out to sea on longer offshore passages is an exciting and satisfying pastime for all boaters. But even the most promising excursions - whether an afternoon sail or a month-long cruise - can be ruined by an unexpected equipment failure or any number of minor breakdowns that are troubling because they either are mysterious or hinder the boat's progress. At all times it is useful for a skipper to understand exactly how a given piece of equipment is meant to function optimally so that potential problems can be quickly resolved with a minimum of fuss and expense. Any boater, from novice to expert who is serious about maximizing pleasure and safety while out on the water should keep a copy of The Skipper's Instant Helper onboard his or her craft. Written with the clarity and expertise for which Zadig's books are famous, The Skippers Instant Helper is invaluable both as an encyclopedia discussing the anatomy of boats and boating equipment and as a guide to performing simple repairs and seeking professional help for more serious problems. Arranged alphabetically from "Airconditioning" to "Zincs," The Skipper's Instant Helper is easy to follow; it explains in clear prose the installation, function, and repair of equipment; and it defines the processes the boat owner must understand in order to be a truly qualified skipper. A great resource with helpful drawings and photographs, the book will make terrific pleasure reading for anyone curious about how boats work.
