Editorial Review: Product Description: Make your boat shine again No improvement to a tired-looking boat will have a more dramatic impact than refinishing, and few tasks are easier. Here is everything you need to achieve a fabulous finish on your fiberglass boat’s bottom, topsides, deck, spars, wood trim, and belowdeck surfaces while saving time, money, and grief. What reviewers have said about Don Casey's boat maintenance books: “Astonishingly clear text and illustrations. The reader can almost feel the hand-holding this book provides through each step.”--Dockside “I own many books filled with advice, but I strongly suspect that this is the one I will consult most.”--Sailing “Casey makes tricky points clear in hundreds of illustrations and lively prose.”--SailNet “If you have an older sailboat, you need this book.”--The Ensign Average Rating:
 Rating: - Sailboat refinishingBook is perfect for anyone about to embark on a project boat or one who may be testing the water to see how well prepared you need to be. The book indicates what is necessary to have on hand in order to re-do a sailboat. Having just begun my boat refinishing, I can say I personally took a number of bits of advice into consideration and these may have saved me time and money already. Cheap insurance and a great mentor to have in hand as you get ready. Rating: - What you need to knowSimilar 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. Rating: - For beginners to experts!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! Rating: - Clear guide to the Do's and Don'ts of painting a boatAnother crystal clear Don Casey book. Explains painting, varnishing, surface prep, brushes, solvents, sanding, basic gelcoat, fixing small blisters, painting the mast, applying the name, fixing non-skid surfaces, fixing crazing and alligatoring, and bottom painting. If I screw it up now, it won't be Casey's fault :)! Browse for similar items by category:
