Industry Reviews

The two aims of this book are preventing problems and curing them when they do happen (even at sea). This is the best-illustrated book ever produced on maintenance and Manley has spent over a year photographing each stage of each topic. This book is an absolute gem. Using very clear graphics and photographs, common maintenance tasks are broken down into simple step-by-step instructions. Each task has an introduction about why and when maintenance should be done, what tools are needed and how difficult the job is considered to be. Even those that claim to have two left thumbs would be able to use this guide. Peter Chennell, Sea Safety Manager, RNLI Offshore News
