Description

Second-hand boats can offer amazingly good value or may turn out to be a nightmare purchase that causes an everlasting drain on financial resources. The aim of this book is to guide the would-be buyer through the complex procedure of evaluation that will result in a sensible and rational decision. It will help you to ascertain what is the most suitable boat for your sailing intentions, where to look for it and what to look at when you first get aboard. Different types of construction of hull and deck are examined and the most likely defects are highlighted, with advice on cause, possible remedy and likely cost. Other components, such as rig, fittings and engines, are similarly treated in full.
