Media Reviews

“Quite simply the best book I’ve ever read on ‘how to’. Why? Because it could not be more simply laid out. Every problem is broken down into very short categories: Why it needs to be done; When it should be done; Tools needed; Where to find it. Then follows a step-by-step guide on the task.” (Yachting Monthly) “This is the best-illustrated book ever produced on maintenance. Using very clear graphics and photographs, common maintenance tasks are broken down into simple step-by-step instructions. Even those that claim to have two left thumbs would be able to use this guide.” (Peter Chennell, Sea Safety Manager, RNLI Offshore News)
