An essential boat maintenance manual Aug 27, 2009
The second edition of This Old Boat is a more professional production than the first edition. Not that the first edition was bad, on the contrary, it was a good resource, but it had a somewhat hand-made feel about it. The diagrams were freehand sketches and a lot of the information lacked depth. Although it was always a good place to start, it was usually necessary to turn to other reference works (such as Calder’s “Boatowner’s Mechanical and Electrical Manual” or Spurr’s “Guide to Upgrading Your Cruising Sailboat”) for precise information about how to carry out a certain repair or improvement. However, what it lacked in depth of information it more than made up for with its clear explanations of the “big picture” and Casey’s ability to impart a sense of motivation.

This new edition improves on the first by being a good deal larger than the first edition, having information that is more in-depth, and illustrations that are much improved. It is now closer in “feel” to Calder’s Boatowner’s Manual. It also covers a lot of the information contained in Casey’s several short sailboat maintenance handbooks, and to an extent it updates and replaces them. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that this is the only book by Casey that you now need to own in order to have all of the information he has previously published, but it is close.

Comprehensive boat owners repair manual Jul 09, 2009
Wish I had this updated edition before starting my refit–this would have replaced many other individual texts and lots of trial and error work. Simple building-block projects in each section demystify boat construction and accurately impress the simplicity of seemingly complex improvements.

You, yes even you, can actually do many of the things listed in this book if you have the requisite patience. Would definately buy again, great reference even if you elect not to do repairs and improvements yourself so you can understand what your yard is charging for…

The kindle price has got to be a mistake… Jun 26, 2009
OK I have a few of don caseys books, including the original this old boat. Wonderful book, 5 stars.
But to charge 29.67 for the kindle edition makes me wonder who is smoking what. There is no way, other than the desire for greedy profits, that a electronic version of a book should cost almost as much as a hard cover version with its glossy photos and such. No. So why I would like to have this copy, there is no way I would pay that much for it. And since I love the idea of what the electronic book brings to me it is just to bad someone whats to just make a large killing.
