Customer Reviews

Great tips

I bought this hoping to find one or two tips that would more than pay for the cost of the book. It has done that. If you have an older sail boat, you should be able to find ideas in this book that will start your creative juices flowing to resolve issues in a simple and effective way. There are things in here for all boaters, but it works better for owners of older sailboats.

Very helpful

This was a gift for my husband and he loved it. Had much usefull information.
