Fix It and Sail - Brian Gilbert : Sail-ho

Brian Gilbert nabył za niewielkie pieniądze MacGregora 222 w fatalnym stanie i możliwie najmniejszymi środkami (finansowymi) przeprowadził jego pełną renowację. Opisał to w książce. Wskazówki autora prowadzą czytelnika krok po kroku przez poszczególne fazy procesu renowacji jachtu, od naprawy kilu, kadłuba, burt, kabin, do malowania, okablowania oraz uszczelniania. Pokazuje jak ocenić, naprawić i wymienić min. okucia, tapicerkę, czy ożaglowanie. Każdy temat zawiera dyskusję, jak rzecz należy zrobić porządnie, jak zrobić ją najtaniej, czy warto ją zrobić najtaniej i co się z tym wiąże. Dzięki temu każdy planujący restaurację jachtu będzie wiedział, czego się spodziewać.
Książka w języku angielskim.
