Yacht Joinery & Fitting

This is a great book. Mr. Saunders knows his stuff and he knows how to teach what he knows. Not only does he give us the how-to we expect, he gives us the why-to, which is usually more valuable. I particularly liked the photographs and drawings about ergonomics. Mr. Saunders went so far as to make a little articulated paper doll representing typical human dimensions and position the little sailor in several typical places on a typical boat. Sounds mundane, but it does a great job of showing why a 26-inch wide bunk might be a better choice than one that's 36 inches wide.Some of the best information in this book is about making best use of limited space. That is helpful if you are building a recreational vehicle, a travel trailer, or an expedition Unimog. Or maybe even a yacht.
