Great book — contains enough information for beginners and seasoned sailors alike. It is worth it’s weight in gold for the many tips on how to make my 40 year old sailboat look like new.

Takes the guess work out of DIY projects with its well written explanations and easy to follow instructions with accompanying photographs – a must have for those of us starting out with older boats.

I was overjoyed to finally read the actual process for using some of the chemicals needed to strip and refinish the wood on my husband’s boat. When you buy the materials the instructions are very vague and even the warnings don’t include disposal or environmental hazards. Don Casey writes like he is talking to you and explains details only someone working on a boat would need to know. Great book.

Similar to other books in the series. Style wise, this is the opposite of The Sailmaker’s Apprentice by Marino. This is not a book to pick up while sitting by the fire sipping tea. It is a great reference book with concise “how to” information. Good explanations of both materials and techniques – including safety.

We recently lucked into a wonderful Grampian 26 in great shape, and were even luckier to have located this and the other Don Casey books! Even though it is still very much winter here, I’m chomping at the bit to start preparing the boat for the water. Casey’s books are a must for any yacht owner!
