Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This is a compilation of tried and true boat projects plus tips on boat handling, navigation, galley, and other aspects of sailing offshore. It focuses on things that work and are not generally seen in other books. In his 100,000 offshore miles and his 30 years as a boatbuilder and professional yacht manager, Bill Seifert has seen what works and what doesn't, and has created what's probably the world's largest photographic library of useful, workable solutions for boat design, construction, equipment, and seamanship dilemmas. Presents solutions to a host of boat design, construction, equipment, and seamanship dilemmas. This title tells you what works and what doesn't, and step by step - with the help of detailed illustrations and photographs - fills you in on what you need to know for safe, comfortable passagemaking. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780071374248
