Step by step, the author of the bestselling "This Old Boat" shows you how to evaluate the condition of an older fiberglass sailboat-- the one you own or the one you'd like to purchase. Don Casey's expert advice helps you: Assess the condition of a used sailboat in 30 minutes Prioritize maintenance and repair tasks for a boat you already own Catch potential problems early Know where to look and what to look for (and how to interpret what you see)

A professional survey is recommended before purchasing a boat-- and usually required for financing-- but with "Inspecting the Aging Sailboat," you can consider and reject any number of boats before settling on "the one." This book will streamline your used-boat shopping while saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in professional survey fees.

"The perfect place to begin, or to continue your education. . . . As a reviewer of both new and used boats, I own many books filled with advice. I strongly suspect that "Inspecting the Aging Sailboat" is the one I will consult most."-- "Sailing"

"A complete reference for the boatowner or prospective boat buyer on evaluating the condition of fiberglass sailboats using common sense and proven advice."-- "GAM on Yachting Magazine" (Canada)
