Wooden boats

Buying a boat and sailing off is not always that easy. Used boats in particular need to be thoroughly checked and, if necessary, repaired before they set sail for the first time. But is it really necessary to hire a boatyard for every small repair? Author Thomas Larsson shows you how to carry out the most important maintenance, care and repair work on your wooden boat yourself. You will learn to understand the structure of your boat and gain the necessary basic knowledge. You will quickly be able to recognize damaged areas and repair them according to the old boatbuilding traditions. From material science to the individual work steps, all work is explained in a comprehensible manner and clearly illustrated with many drawings and photos. A practical color coding system and short summaries at the end of each chapter make it easier for you to get an overview. 4th edition, 288 pages, 115 photos and illustrations, format 16.5x24cm (hardcover), Thomas Larsson
