Reviews
This is a wonderful book as it is written for the amateur who has no special training in many of the areas discussed. It is also concise and clearly written, and is accompanied by myriad of drawings. As such it is an ideal guide for those who have neither an unlimited array of power tools, nor the skills to use those tools well. Starting with an introduction to nuts and bolts, adhesives and glues, and tools of the trade, the reader is led step-by-step through more than 20 substantial projects. The following are just some of the subjects covered: Control lines to the cockpit; covers, dodgers and biminis; Converting to refrigeration; Bilge pumps; beneath the settee; galley upgrades; a leather steering wheel cover; insulating the engine compartment. The book is littered with hints and tips under the heading "Rule of Thumb," and while some may be simple and well known rules of thumb, if nothing else they reinforce the simplicity with which one can obtain good results for a variety of jobs. Anyone who is maintaining and upgrading their own boat, would be well advised to read this wonderful book.

Product is 95% alike picture but a little more blurry. Controller play well but had a notice from psn that my joypad wasn't authentic and could by problematic🤷‍♂️ no trouble so far! Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Perfect Book for the Sailor

    I bought one of these Sail Improvement Project Books. I wanted to tell you how GOOD this book is. I'm an engineer and a sailor and I love to work on boats and read about them. This is one of those RARE books that comes along now and again that really adds value. I'm serious, this is well written. I've cruised smaller sailboats (28-28 footers) for a decade now and every single project this author writes about is dedicated to the craft of upgrading a sailboat to make it more convenient, safe and livable. It is written in a no-nonsense style, all diagrams make sense and all chapters are purposeful. I'm really happy I got this book. Just wanted to tell you all how happy I am with this book. If you want to upgrade your boat to make it really convenient for the Captain, this is your book!
