Restoring a fibreglass yacht is not something for the
faint-hearted, even if you don't intend to do all the work yourself
(you still need to understand the processes to be gone through).
But the satisfaction of the job well done, not to mention the
possible cost savings on buying a new yacht, are immense.
Nevertheless, it is not something that should be undertaken lightly
and without careful consideration. That is where this book comes
in, as Enric Rosello takes you through his restoration of a
30-year-old 40-foot yacht. Broken down into 46 chapters, Enric
details the stages of his restoration in chronological order. For
each he starts with an overview of the task and the thinking behind
the approach he took. Just these introductory pieces alone are
ideal for someone contemplating a restoration (of all or part of a
boat) to read before making the final decision as to whether to go
ahead. For those who decide to take on the challenge, each overview
is followed by an in-depth step-by-step account of what they did,
accompanied by numerous informative photo sequences (with over 800
colour photos in total). The material in this book would be
invaluable both to boat owners who are considering a complete
overhaul and to those who have one or two smaller jobs to do. All
possible subjects are covered, including dealing with osmosis, the
interiors, deck, rigging, electrics and electronics, plumbing,
engine, galley, heads and much more. The author is very honest
about the amount of work and commitment required and also offers
advice about when to call in the professionals and when to consider
doing the work yourself. Anyone contemplating a complete or partial
restoration is advised to read this book beforehand, so you know
what is ahead, and to follow its guidance if you to decide to
proceed.
