The excellent Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual by Nigel Calder was featured in the MarineZine'sbookshelves section and reader Matt Tapwell wrote in to add:
"It must be confessed that I have collected quite a few books on the subject over the years, hoping for a sudden breakthrough in my hopelessly un-technical mind. I'm still not the world's most inspired mechanic or electrician but Nigel Calder's manual seems to be the one I reach for every time, these days. Not only have I been able to solve some of the boat's problems but I have also been able to prevent some situations from arising at all, thanks to the excellent advice that is imparted on the pages of this excellent book." |
