Delius Klasing BOOTSPFLEGE SELBST GEMACHT

Keeping your boat in top shape: This book guides you through the care of your yacht—whether it's made of fiberglass, steel, or wood—from spring overhauls through summer maintenance to winter storage. Author Moritz Schult—a proven tinkerer and practitioner himself—helps you select not only effective but also environmentally friendly care and cleaning products. Numerous practical instructions support you with the following tasks and problems, among others:

• Treatment of the underwater hull with different hull materials,
• Preparation for launching and launching,
• Winterizing and de-winterizing the engine as well as its operation and storage,
• Inspections and sail care during the season such as sealing windows, hatches and chain plates, cleaning and maintenance of teak decks,
• Overwintering in water and on land,
• Mast laying, crane lifting and rigging.

This how-to book is rounded out with recommendations for useful onboard tools for boat overhauls, as well as maintenance products and their application. This not only saves you money but also prepares your yacht for all weather conditions.
