Editorial Reviews

Review
...not merely a diagnostic reference for surveyors...should be required reading for designers and builders as well....[It] enables the average owner to become sufficiently well versed in the subject as to efficiently hold his surveyor accountable to a high standard. -- Professional BoatBuilder, April/May 1995

..should be required reading for anyone contemplating the surveyor's profession or anyone who expects to look over a surveyor's shoulder as he examines a boat he hopes to buy or sell. -- SAIL Magazine, September 1984 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Surveying Small Craft is the standard reference work for surveying all types of small boats. Now revised, expanded, and completely brought up to date, it will be an indispensable tool for professional surveyors and potential buyers of secondhand boats, helping them to spot important features and identify potential problems. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Information- But Dated, March 29, 1999
By M. Mitchell (Lake Tahoe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required reading, December 29, 1999
By Leon Suty "Leon" (DINGMANS FERRY, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
