Comprehensive boat owners repair manual
Wish I had this updated edition before starting my refit--this would have replaced many other individual texts and lots of trial and error work. Simple building-block projects in each section demystify boat construction and accurately impress the simplicity of seemingly complex improvements.
You, yes even you, can actually do many of the things listed in this book if you have the requisite patience. Would definately buy again, great reference even if you elect not to do repairs and improvements yourself so you can understand what your yard is charging for...
The bible just got better.
I'm in the process of fixing up a Santana 22, and the first edition of this book got me started on projects from tackling the rigging to electonics to repainting the hull. This revised edition is hugely improved with more and better illustrations, much more content, and way more up to date.
If you've got an old boat, this is the first book I'd buy for maintenance advice.
A must have for any sail boat owner
A must have for any sail boat owner. Clear instructions on how to identify necessary boat improvement projects and how to tackle them step by step. Numerous illustrations
