Product Description

Written by Simon Jollands, The Boatyard Book is a practical, comprehensive reference manual that provides sensible, accessible advice for boat owners that are planning and carrying out annual maintenance, repairs, upgrades and refits of sailing yachts and motorboats that are up to 20 metres in length.

The book contains information all owners need to care for their boat, including how to budget and plan tasks that are to be done throughout the year, as well as essential how-to reference material and ideas for a comprehensive range of projects both large and small to be carried out ashore.

Also included is advice and tips from highly respected boatyard owners, specialists and surveyors, as well as Simon's own 25 years experience of boat ownership. All of this is fully illustrated with step-by-step photos and illustrations. 

Topics Covered Include:

Electrics.
Engines.
Hull and deck care.
Laying up.
Maintenance of plumbing and gas systems.
Mast and rigging.
More complex projects, including re-wiring a boat, overhauling an engine, how to treat osmosis and how to go about a complete refit.
