This revised and updated edition will be useful to all wooden boat owners, both experienced and new owners.
The book is generously illustrated with more than 200 sketches and photographs in colour and b/w, with practical instructions and fact-boxes with advice and tips. You will learn all about boat maintenance such as surface treatment, scraping the hull, equipping the boat in the spring and looking after it in the winter, as well as tips about buying a boat, installing an engine, and so on.
Thomas Larsson emphasizes the importance of keeping on top of maintenance because that is what keeps our unique fleet of wooden boats alive. He also gives us an insight into the history of wooden boats and the art of building them.
