Handbook, reference book and checklist in swedish for the winter with a personalized to-do list to tick off. Picking up and transporting, de-masting, care and maintenance of the engine, electrical system, ropes, winches and blocks, cleaning and polishing, as well as preparation for launching and masting.
Boats are not only means of transportation but also technically advanced sports equipment that requires proper maintenance and occasional repair. In an easy-to-understand manner and with many explanatory pictures, this book shows how to keep the boat in good condition, as well as how to care for and repair the countless accessories.
The summer season is of course what is closest to the boat owner's heart, but there is no reason not to feel less happy as the owner and caretaker of the boat during the winter months. The sporting hobby doesn't end with the last race of the fall season. Sailing is an all-year-round sport, even if it is kept on the back burner during the winter.
The sailor has a lot more to think about when it comes to picking up, storing for the winter and launching, which is why most of the illustrations show sailing boats. But everything that is not related to sails and rigging is also true for the motorboat and its maintenance.
The original is German but the knowledgeable translator Peter Behrens, who has written several books on boat care, has adapted and added new sections so that the content matches the way we take care of and store boats in Sweden.
