Inspecting the Aging Sailboat (The International Marine Sailboat Library)

Rating:
Summary: Unstanding what you're looking at
Review: I used this book in combination with another to really understand the boat systems and make an informed judgement. Are those cracks in the gelcoat serious? How do I know if the tiller attachment is a weak design? Casey helps you understand how to make a judgement about critical components from a novice/lay point of view. I found the book a very good resource.

Rating:
Summary: Clear, concise, and well illustrated
Review: While not as detailed as a textbook might be, it covers general points across very well.
