About this product
Product Information
Find a small cruising sailboat and restore it to pristine condition on a budget that won't sink your budgetSmall, trailererable cruising sailboats are more popular than ever as mooring spaces dwindle and marina dockage and winter storage costs soar. "Fix It and Sail" helps you discover boatloads of fun far less than a single ski weekend or golf club membership. Veteran sailor and journalist Brian Gilbert shows you how to select and inspect a boat, then restore it from keel to rigging.Gilbert's clear, step-by-step instructions guide you through every phase of the restoration process from repairing keels, hulls, ports, and cabins to painting, wiring, and sealing. You'll learn how to evaluate, repair and replace hardware, upholstery, canvaswork, and more. Profusely illustrated appendices give you a vivid picture of the costs, tasks, and labor involved in an actual restoration project.

One of my best transactions. Great communication. Owner described DVD correctly and even has a description of it attached to the DVD. Price was perfect and DVD arrived in good condition. When I played it, it was in perfect shape.
I will buy from buyer in the future and recommend him to others.
