It doesn’t take a university education in naval architecture to understand
the components of a boat. But it is important to have that basic knowledge
before undertaking repair and maintenance work. A poor repair job can
create weaknesses that could place the boat and her crew in danger. 'The
Essential Boat Maintenance Guide' is the ideal reference to ensure that
such problems don’t arise. It details the various repair and maintenance
jobs that crop up with every boat after every summer season, and describes
how these jobs must be tackled so the boat is as sound and seaworthy as the
day she was built. Covering the make-up of both sail and motor boats, this
book is packed with detailed instructions, tips and hints that reduce the
cost and effort of maintenance work. It is a must for every boat owner who
wants to keep their boat well maintained and in shipshape condition.
