About this title

About the Author:

Nigel Calder, a diesel mechanic for more than 25 years, is also a boatbuilder, cabinetmaker, and machinist. He and his wife built their own cruising sailboat, Nada, a project they completed in 1984. Calder is author of numerous articles for Yachting World, National Fisherman, and other magazines, as well as four other International Marine books that have guided tens of thousands of boatowners worldwide--Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual, Repairs at Sea, Refrigeration for Pleasureboats, and The Cruising Guide to the Northwest Caribbean.

Review:

``This is one of the best-illustrated engine books ever, Calder explains basic concepts in a thoroughly enjoyable way.'' (Ocean Navigator)

``If the reader faithfully follows the author's maintenance procedures, he may well find that he need never call upon the services of a diesel mechanic, and that alone makes this book well worth the price.'' (Sailing)
