Cruising sailors are always on the lookout for do-it-yourself ideas to make their boats safer, more comfortable, and more efficient. For many years, the leading source of those ideas has been Bruce Bingham's "Workbench" column, one of the most popular, longest-running features in North America's preeminent magazine for cruising under sail. Cruising World's Workbench brings together the 200 best "Workbench" projects, selected by the editors of Cruising World magazine and organized in functional categories such as cabin, deck, rigging, sails, electronics, and engine.
