Lot Of (2) VINTAGE 1973 & 1979 Illustrated Hardcover Sail Boat Maintenance & Fitting Out References In Dust Jackets.

TITLES: 1) "The Finely Fitted Yacht: Volumes I & II In One Volume" by Ferenc Mate. TWO VOLUMES IN ONE HARDCOVER 1979 Albatross Publishing House Reprint Edition. Exactly as shown in listing scan(s). Nice Collectible hardcover copy In Dust Jacket.

"There are hundreds of helpful projects in this book. Everything from making skylights for your hatch covers, making drip catchers for portholes, built in seats so you can work on that engine down in the bilges, wooden cleats, enough projects to last a lifetime for any sailboat. This book covers both useful and decorative —a belaying pin rack, mirrors—items, but highly leans toward useful. If you work on your boat over the winter, I can't think of a better book of projects. Each has sufficient details to actually accomplish the job."
