This is the essential guide to yacht restoration and repair.

The book is a beautifully-presented manual on how to give a cruising yacht a complete overhaul. It is filled with hundreds of colour photo-sequences, which detail how to replace the engine, hatches, electrics, plumbing, rigging, gelcoat and much more.

The Restoration Handbook appeals equally to sailors and boat owners who want to overhaul a boat completely and to those who have one or two small jobs to do. Although the whole boat is covered, each section is broken down into manageable chunks. Readers can work their way through each job using the clear sequential photographs for step-by-step guidance.
