 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 Monthly and many other
magazines worldwide, as well as the bestselling
Boatowner's Practical and Technical Cruising Manual and
Boatowner's Mechanical and Electrical Manual, both
published by Adlard Coles Nautical. Here, in this
goldmine of a book, is everything the reader needs to
keep their diesel engine running cleanly and
efficiently. It explains how diesel engines work,
defines new terms, and lifts the veil of mystery that
surrounds such engines. Clear and logical, this
extensively illustrated guide will enable the reader to
be their own diesel mechanic. As Nigel Calder says:
'there is no reason for a boatowner not to have a
troublefree relationship with a diesel engine. All one
needs is to set the engine up correctly in the first
place, to pay attention to routine maintenance, to have
the knowledge to spot early warning signs of impending
trouble, and to have the ability to correct small ones
before they become large ones |

 This
book is the most comprehensive, helpful and up to date
guide ever written on selecting, equipping and sailing a
cruising yacht. Destined to become the bible for
prospective boat buyers and cruisers, whether coastal or
world-girdling, it successfully covers all the technical
and practical aspects of cruising yachts and systems in
one unique book. Written by Nigel Calder, one of the
most respected nautical how-to authors with extensive
cruising experience and a rare ability to reduce
complexities to simple explanations, this book shows the
reader not only how to select and equip a yacht for
coastal or offshore cruising, but also how to sail and
navigate it, addressing the concerns of beginners and
experienced owners alike. This is the book the cruising
world has long been waiting for. There is, quite
literally, nothing else like it |
