100 FAST & EASY BOAT IMPROVEMENTS,
By
This review is from: 100 Fast & Easy Boat Improvements (Paperback)
The book has some very good information and some that is just ok.
I like seeing how others do something I want to do before I try it. The book does cover some of thing I was looking for, but other parts left me with a Ah - so what? Am I happy with having bought the book? YES,OK maybe 4*.

Another fine Casey "How-To...",
By "esjkij" (Keswick, VA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Fast & Easy Boat Improvements (Hardcover)
Don Casey has firmly established himself as an effective communicator of all things nautical...particularly in the do-it-yourself category. This is an enjoyable little volume which contains a number of projects designed to improve the safety and liveability of the sailboat. The excellent and clear illustrations make the written descriptions easy to follow. The International Marine Sailboat Library has a number of these useful how-to books (several by Casey) which belong on nearly any sailor's bookshelf.
