A great do-it-yourself book for replacing boat interiors,
By Wood and Metal Worker (Great White North) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boat Interior Construction (Paperback)
Naujok started with a bare production hull for a 34 foot sailboat, and finished it to standards equal to any production yacht. Along the way he took great photos showing the details of each step. The illustrations are excellent. A great feature of this book is that it systematically takes you through the entire fitting-out process.
Like all books, this one is limited in how much information it can pack into one volume. Completing a yacht interior usually involves applying the skills of a cabinetmaker, electrician, plumber, upholsterer, etc., and while this book shows you what's involved, you'll need other materials if you're not experienced in each of these areas. Surprisingly, all of the work is done with hand tools and a limited number of portable power tools (and, I guess, a lot of patience...). Stationary woodworking machines such as tablesaw, bandsaw, and sanders would save considerable labor. My biggest criticism has to do with the translation. The book was originally written in German, and translated in the UK. As such, much of the terminology and product names are unfamiliar in North America. For this reason you'll want to refer to other sources. But, if you're considering building or rebuilding a boat interior, books are going to be your least expense.

Book review,
This review is from: Boat Interior Construction (Paperback)
A well-written step-by-step guide for refitting a sailing vessel. The photographs were excellent. Mr Naujok included many helpful hints on projects. I had hoped for more detailed instruction on redoing headliner and ideas for modernizing an old interior than what was covered in this book. However, it is a valuable reference book for do-it-yourselfers.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Really a good manual,
By
This review is from: Boat Interior Construction (Paperback)
Boat-building is a technical area where good manuals are printed in any language, but somehow very poor about interior design and construction. This book, very practical, professionally tested and full of detailed color images, fills up the gap. The manual is intended to help both the amateur boatbuilder, both the professional carpenter. The planned interior is intended to be a medium-size one, but with the same skill you can construct a longer boat.
