Good Information- But Dated,
By
This review is from: Surveying Small Craft (Hardcover)
Originally published in 1974 this book has lots of information on older style (wood) boats (wood) masts etc. Also the book is written more to the "want to be a surveyor?- this is how you do it" instead of "looking for a used boat?-here is what details to check out. Also Nicholson is practices in Scotland and is geared toward european boats as opposed to us boats. I would suggest "Surveying Fiberglass sailboats" by Mustin as a better choice. Would I buy again? No.

This review is from: Surveying Small Craft (Hardcover)
The author relates a wealth of experience and provides proven methods of how boats should be built.The side stories of how things can go wrong were very entertaining and reenforced the technical side of the book. The book is written from the european view and could use more info on fiberglass vessels. The drawings and photos were very good and the accompanied captions very detailed.
