About this title

Synopsis

Reviews

Drawing material from such diverse sources as equipment catalogs and boating journals, this handbook covers virtually everything about boating, from selecting a craft to navigating, nor does it neglect such related matters as boat trailers, equipment upgrades, maintenance, and security. The illustrations illuminate the text's points and enhance the instructional thrust; the maintenance sections are easy to follow; and the safety sections, valuable to any boat owner, are succinct. Moreover, by employing the book's do-it-yourself methods, the small-boat owner stands to make significant savings both in maintenance costs and in the costs of alterations and enhancements of equipment. A worthy addition for libraries serving small-boat enthusiasts. Mike Tribby
