What Customers Say About Don Casey's Complete Illustrated Sailboat Maintenance Manual: Including Inspecting the Aging Sailboat, Sailboat Hull and Deck Repair, Sailboat Refinishing, Sailbo:

It's a good add to a small collection of help books on boating. I was looking for a little more detail in the standard maintenance category but it does a really good job of telling buyers/owners what to look for in the wear and tear areas.

Indispensable if you own a sailboat. Very complete and easy to follow. I do a lot of repair and maintenance work on everything I own and this is the first time I have found a book I would recommend to everyone. A clear and comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about repairing and maintaining your sailboat.

Easy to read, fantastic illustrations. OK, I like manuals. Buy it, you won't regret. Explains and suggests. And this is a very good one. If you have a boat, you have to have it.

Very easy to read, great illustrations and step by step directions. As the new owners of an older boat this book has come in handy already.

At our recent survey, my husband was able to ask pertinent questions, and have his many questions answered as well. This book is a 'must have' for any sailboat owner, beginner or experienced. I purchased this book to give to my husband at his retirement party. He said the surveyor followed the book almost page by page. We plan to buy more of Don Casey's books to keep in our onboard library. We are in the process of purchasing a sailboat to live aboard. We have almost no experience in sailing let alone maintenance of a sailboat.
