A "Must Read" for a self reliant sailor
I've been sailing for over 60 yrs off & on. During the covid shutdown I have a bit more time on my hands so I decided to relearn sewing and sail repair. The wealth of knowledge in this book is beyond belief. There is so much information that I read the whole book and created my own index as I read. Now, when I am looking for a specific piece of information that I know is somewhere in the book I just look thru my personal index.. Emiliano Marino is a joy to read in "Small Craft Advisor" so I knew the book would be good but this is over the top. Jim W
