A Note About Our Reviews

We sell publications which we personally can endorse and which we feel will be of benefit to design students, our design clients, boat builders, and anyone with a interest in serious cruising vessels, living aboard, and voyaging.  We have read all these books and viewed these videos.  All of them are in our library.  There is a special reason to order these books from us.  As you read them if you have questions and want to discuss the material in them with people who really understand these publications, you can email us for free advice at any time.

This page assumes that you will use PayPal  to use either your credit card or a PayPal account to pay for these items.  It is also still possible to order through our older system by going to our Publishing Order Form which somewhat duplicates this page.  Should you prefer to send a check you may also mail your order by printing out this page indicating on it what you want and mailing it to MacNaughton Group, 918 Springy Pond Road, Otis, Maine 04605.  When we are not operating from our boat office you can place an order by phone at 207-537-3787.  Our office hours are 8am to 5pm Eastern time.

Some of these book are out of print and are so marked.  In that case we try to show an average used price.  When you order one of these books and we find we can sell it to you for less we will refund the balance.  If we can't find a copy at the price we posted we will determine a price and contact you to either refund your money or for permission to charge the balance.
