THE BOAT REPAIR BIBLE — A COMPREHENSIVE REPAIR GUIDE FOR POWER AND SAIL

As the title implies, this book is about the repair of boats and is intended to provide boatbuilders and boaters with truly comprehensive and detailed repair guidance. In fact, a good boat owner shall be a sort of combination of boatbuilder and sailmaker, boat mechanic and electrician, and even welder and plumber - of course, he or she shall also have good boat navigation skills.

Knowing all this is next to impossible, and all boat owners have to call experts to assist them with one task or another. The present volume aims to empower all interested boat owners with the required technical knowledge enabling them to fix the damages occurring to their boats and eventually reduce the demand for the external help. The reader will find useful and easy-to-read information about the fundamental tool skills, they will get valuable advice relating to the essential spares and get to know how to set up their personal workshop.

Using the information contained in the book they will even be able to survey their boats on their own. This, in turn, will eliminate additional expenses and let them save some money. Starting with the essential repair skills, the content of the volume proceeds to the boat hull and deck repairs, wooden, steel and ferro-cement repair works, domestic repairs, general mechanics and repairs to the electrical equipment and systems including navigation part, engine repairs, sailboat and motorboat repairs, outboard and dinghy boat repairs. The glossary is also there to check the terminology.
