Overview

In forty-six chapters, Ferenc Mate covers every aspect of sailboat maintenance, from launching a new boat, varnishing and oiling, and tuning the rigging, to maintaining the bilge pumps, heads and galley stoves, checking and repairing wood and fiberglass hulls. As well as drawing on his own many years of boatbuilding and sailing experience, Mate, author of?From a Bare Hull, The Finely Fitted Yacht, Best Boats?and?The World's Best Sailboats, also consulted many manufacturers and boatyard experts.
