 100 FAST & EASY BOAT IMPROVEMENTS February 13, 2008
The book has some very good information and some that is just ok.
I like seeing how others do something I want to do before I try it.
The book does cover some of thing I was looking for, but other parts left me with a Ah - so what?
Am I happy with having bought the book? YES,OK maybe 4*.
 Great Book! September 3, 2007
This is a great book to read during the winter, when you haven't been sailing for months. It's full of ideas you'll never actually employ, but it's definitely worth checking out from the library. The companionway speakers have been on my project list for a long time. I'm never going to do it, but it's a great idea and I'd love to have them. Even the guy at West Marine thought it was a good idea.
Lots of ideas that you probably don't need March 18, 2007
I found this book nice and easy to read - but I have found that I have not really introduced any of these improvements in my boat. So I guess the main purpose of a book like this, is that you start thinking for yourself and maybe be inspired to think of even better improvements that suits your boat and your needs.
 Great ideas - good investment June 29, 2006
This is a book for sailboats. My T26 was built in '77, so this book has a lot to offer. The ideas are quite varied, so I'll never use all or even a small portion of them. But just with one idea that I never thought of, the book has paid for itself. Having an older boat that I'm willing to make modifications to, many of the improvements listed are answers to those questions I have about "What can I do to make ____ better?" Like making better use of the space available for what I need, instead of how it was intended. The ideas are lightweight, easy to implement and inexpensive. You have to be comfortable using common tools. This is a DIY guide, not a chandlery shopper's guide.
Another fine Casey "How-To..." March 17, 2003
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Don Casey has firmly established himself as an effective communicator of all things nautical...particularly in the do-it-yourself category. This is an enjoyable little volume which contains a number of projects designed to improve the safety and liveability of the sailboat. The excellent and clear illustrations make the written descriptions easy to follow. The International Marine Sailboat Library has a number of these useful how-to books (several by Casey) which belong on nearly any sailor's bookshelf.
