SHIPSHAPE is the complete, step-by-step manual of sailboat maintenance. The forty-six chapters cover everything from launching a new boat to varnishing and oiling, tuning the rigging, maintaining bilge pumps, heads, and galley stoves and checking and repairing both wood and fiberglass hulls. Mr. Mat draws on many years of boatbuilding and sailing experience, and has consulted with manufacturers and boatyard experts. Advice from such companies as North Sails (on sail care), Edson (on steering), InterluxPaints (on polyurethanes), British Seagull (on outboard motors), and the Concordia Yacht Yard (on general maintenance) makes this an indespensible guide to keeping your sailboat safe and in Bristol condition.
