'Got some boat projects? Yeah, who doesn't? Well, this book could come in handy then. It covers both fiberglass and wood boats and gives step by step instructions with plenty of pictures to walk you through all kinds of renovations and upgrades.' --Latitudes & Attitudes, January 2006
'The author introduces the subject and discusses the benefits of carrying out one's own refit, which is the inexpensive way to own and maintain a yacht. He outlines the progress anticipated with the fiberglass yacht and the wooden yacht taking the reader through, with the planning period, dealing with the underwater sections and the bilges, the hull and deck, refurbishment below decks and improvements in appearance, renovation of the galley, the business with insulation and interior linings and the servicing of fittings and deck gear.
The book is well-illustrated with a wealth of sharp, color, photographs, which provide the reader with some examples of the less than ideal conditions found by those going about the repair of yachts, the method of going about the work and the tools required with their setting up. Although this reviewer has not tried all the procedures listed, he feels sure that Michael Naujok delivers an appropriate introduction with his approach.' --The Nautical Magazine, April 2005
'Expert mechanical engineer Michael Naujok presents Fitting Out Your Boat in Fiberglass or Wood, a plainly written reference for sailors and boat owners striving to renovate their prized vessel. Explicit color photographs on every page and step-by-step walkthrough instructions cover everything from insulation and interior linings to treating the keel of a wooden yacht to repairing a teak deck, underwater sections and bilges, and much more. A thorough, extensive, highly practical must-have for anyone contemplating sinking time, effort and money into boat refurbishing.' --The Midwest Book Review, June 2004
