Practical applications for sailboats
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was overjoyed to finally read the actual process for using some of the chemicals needed to strip and refinish the wood on my husband's boat. When you buy the materials the instructions are very vague and even the warnings don't include disposal or environmental hazards. Don Casey writes like he is talking to you and explains details only someone working on a boat would need to know. Great book.

Book is perfect for anyone about to embark on a project boat or one who may be testing the water to see how well prepared you need to be. The book indicates what is necessary to have on hand in order to re-do a sailboat. Having just begun my boat refinishing, I can say I personally took a number of bits of advice into consideration and these may have saved me time and money already. Cheap insurance and a great mentor to have in hand as you get ready.
What you need to know

Similar to other books in the series. Style wise, this is the opposite of The Sailmaker's Apprentice by Marino. This is not a book to pick up while sitting by the fire sipping tea. It is a great reference book with concise "how to" information. Good explanations of both materials and techniques - including safety.
For beginners to experts!

We recently lucked into a wonderful Grampian 26 in great shape, and were even luckier to have located this and the other Don Casey books! Even though it is still very much winter here, I'm chomping at the bit to start preparing the boat for the water. Casey's books are a must for any yacht owner!
Clear guide to the Do's and Don'ts of painting a boat

Another crystal clear Don Casey book. Explains painting, varnishing, surface prep, brushes, solvents, sanding, basic gelcoat, fixing small blisters, painting the mast, applying the name, fixing non-skid surfaces, fixing crazing and alligatoring, and bottom painting. If I screw it up now, it won't be Casey's fault :)!
