This is the restoration bible, primarily oriented toward sailboats, but also applicable to powerboats. The author has both feet planted in reality and doesn't dwell on the "sailing mystique". Just the facts, the good with the bad, and always light and readable. His experience is invaluable for those of us pouring over catalogs and wondering how and where to start. He takes the mystery out of fiberglass care and repair, brightwork restoration, paint, electrics, engine maintenance, canvas design, plumbing, and all of the stuff that seems unduly complex. The book gives you the confidence to proceed with repairs without feeling "frozen" by myth and complexity.
