Soon after Donald Boone started boating, he realized what many boaters soon understand. Boats are not perfect! Every boat has numerous items which can be improved upon, given a little thought and effort. After many years of trial and error, Don was finally satisfied with many of the projects he had completed. Shortly thereafter, he started writing magazine articles, discussing these boat improvements.   This book has a few of those ideas within its pages, along with many new and innovative ideas for boat improvement. The thirty featured projects take the reader through the improvements in a step-by-step style of explanation. Many of the projects have the tools and materials listed as well.   The following are only a few examples of the many well thought out projects: Anchor Storage, TV Antenna, Saving a Defunct Auto-Pilot, Dinghy Storage, Outboard Motor Bracket, Storage.   Don has found methods to accomplish a high quality finished product at a fraction of the cost you would expect. Many of the projects not only save money but also improve the enjoyment of life aboard. Completing one of these projects yourself will save you money and increase your enjoyment of any boat. Illustrated.

Frank Guernsey lived through this tale of his record setting journey, sailing single-handed from Southern California, around Cape Horn to Uruguay, in a twenty-four foot engineless sailboat. Cy Zoerner put this harrowing adventure into words as no other author could. 
As Frank revealed the story to Cy he began to wonder, as would we all, what could drive a man to commit to an outrageously dangerous undertaking in such a small craft. After endless hours discussing life and love with Frank, Cy understood and a story, like no other, poured forth. 
This will be the best sailing adventure you will ever read and quite possibly the best book you will read for years to come. The greatest fiction can not match the adventures and life of Frank Guernsey.
"Humans!" 
The handle of my precious watermaker stopped in my hands. My eyes strained at the black speck on the gray, watery horizon. The misery from the open saltwater sores I sat on, winked out. As I switched on my video recorder, my only companion since I set sail, I repeated, "Humans? After all these months alone..." I glanced at my watch. It was January 2, 1000 hours.

Captain Clay Kelly has travel the waterways and world's oceans for many years. During these travels he has met people new to boating and others that have been on boats their entire lives. One topic they all had in common is, what should be checked and when it should be checked. Clay realized the need for a Boater's Checklist directed to boaters of all skill levels. 
There are literally hundreds of items aboard every boat that must be checked or inspected at certain intervals to avoid problems. These problems can range for a mere inconvenience to the sinking of the vessel. 
Clay has written this book in a very easy to understand style that addresses each area and system aboard. The progression of the book takes the reader through each phase at suggested intervals. 
The book starts by describing the checks to perform before getting underway and follows through each system check needed to assure proper operation. Included are tips from fellow cruisers, safety features and systems and a seasonal decommissioning and commissioning checklist. 
This is a book every boater should keep aboard and refer to often. Illustrated
