Far more than for a car, a house, or a body, maintenance is required for a boat. Use eats boats, disuse eats boats, and water, both fresh and salt, eats boats with relish. They don’t tell you that, and books on boat maintenance tend to be feeble, leaving three choices: turn it all over expensively to the yard, learn personally from an expert, or let the boat dissolve. This surprising book presents an alternative learning source (surprising because it’s the only excellent volume in an otherwise wretchedly overwrought, over-priced series from Time-Life). It's pretty comprehensive, splendidly clear, and most important, gives the beginner confidence to begin.
[Stewart Brand, The Next Whole Earth Catalog, p.435]
