Make your boat shine againNo improvement to a tired-looking boat will have a more dramatic impact than refinishing, and few tasks are easier. Here is everything you need to achieve a fabulous finish on your fiberglass boat’s bottom, topsides, deck, spars, wood trim, and belowdeck surfaces while saving time, money, and grief.What reviewers have said about Don Casey's boat maintenance books:“Astonishingly clear text and illustrations. The reader can almost feel the hand-holding this book provides through each step.”--Dockside“I own many books filled with advice, but I strongly suspect that this is the one I will consult most.”--Sailing“Casey makes tricky points clear in hundreds of illustrations and lively prose.”--SailNet“If you have an older sailboat, you need this book.”--The Ensign
