Sailbook Maintenance December 12, 2008
As the new owners of an older boat this book has come in handy already. Very easy to read, great illustrations and step by step directions.
Great book! June 13, 2008
I purchased this book to give to my husband at his retirement party. We are in the process of purchasing a sailboat to live aboard. We have almost no experience in sailing let alone maintenance of a sailboat. At our recent survey, my husband was able to ask pertinent questions, and have his many questions answered as well. He said the surveyor followed the book almost page by page. This book is a 'must have' for any sailboat owner, beginner or experienced. We plan to buy more of Don Casey's books to keep in our onboard library.
The One To Have May 5, 2008
If I had to chose one reference manual to help me take care of my sailboat, this would be the one. The best I have read.
Just Buy It! This Book will not disappoint. April 4, 2008
While it really is impossible to have one book that covers everything to do with yacht maintenance, this one comes pretty close. Don's books really are remarkable, they have all the info you need, explained clearly and coupled with excellent large diagrams that are a pleasure to study. If you've considered one of the books in his yacht maintenace series, forget it, just buy this compendium of them all, I guarantee you will not regret it.
This is very good book for sailboat owner. October 20, 2007

It would be even better if it will have a bit more details, but it is good anyway.
