Bargain Boats and Budget Cruising is about how the ordinary person, one who does not have a trust fund or hundreds of thousands of dollars saved up, can still embark and see the world, or live-aboard a sailing vessel for extended periods in beautiful places without waiting for years and years to save up enough money before they can start, or without the need to work for decades to “retire” afloat. This book is for those who wish to go now; who want to live this exciting lifestyle immediately, rather than waiting any longer; dreaming of waving palm trees while standing on a distant shore.

You don’t need an ocean, a fortune, or a gleaming white yacht to have a lifetime of sailing stories.
These pages are filled with wind-driven adventures on small boats, humble lakes, and working-class sailcraft—stories shaped less by exotic destinations than by the people, mishaps, laughter, and quiet magic that come with time on the water. From trailerable sailboats and one-design racecourses to wind-swept reservoirs in the American West, this book celebrates sailing as it’s actually lived by most sailors: practical, affordable, occasionally chaotic, and endlessly rewarding.

The strength of Hero comes from the band-of-brothers mentality and sense of fellowship that evolved, many associated with the vessel were and continue to be committed to its history. Throughout its life, Hero faced dangers such as Cape Horn weather, ice, storms, submerged rocks, Drake crossings, groundings, Argentine and Chilean militarism, Cold War espionage, volcanic eruptions, and gale-force winds. But it also enjoyed stunning scenery at many out-of-the-way places throughout Tierra del Fuego and the Antarctic Peninsula. It also offered a front-row seat to stunning icebergs, glaciers, and majestic wildlife such as penguins, whales, and seals. Its scientific achievements are many. Hero did this all on its own terms and just like a true hero, became a touchstone for the many lucky enough to have been involved with or part of its life, as well as for the majority of us encountering Hero only through its remnants, photos, and stories. Welcome aboard the Hero way.
