Inspecting the Aging Sailboat

Step by step, the author of the bestselling This Old Boat shows you how to evaluate the condition of an older fiberglass sailboat-the one you own or the one you’d like to purchase. Don Casey’s expert advice helps you:

• Assess the condition of a used sailboat in 30 minutes
• Prioritize maintenance and repair tasks for a boat you already own
• Catch potential problems early
• Know where to look and what to look for (and how to interpret what you see)

A professional survey is recommended before purchasing a boat-and usually required for financing-but with Inspecting the Aging Sailboat, you can consider and reject any number of boats before settling on “the one.” This book will streamline your used-boat shopping while saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in professional survey fees.
