Inside this volume

Known issues & a survey guide

The documented weak points for this exact model, how to inspect each, and what a proper fix costs, a checklist to carry to the survey.

Full specifications

Every published figure, hull and rig or engine detail, tankage, and running change, with the conflicts flagged, not guessed.

Systems & maintenance

Engine, electrical, plumbing, steering, and ground tackle, plus service intervals and the fluid and torque data.

Parts, yards & community

Where the parts are, what cross-references, and the owners associations and forums that keep the model alive.

Custom Edition

Make it your boat.

We fold in your year, your engine and options, your refits and modifications, your hull number, and your own boat's photo on the cover. The book stops describing the boat that left the yard and starts describing the one in your slip.
