A fibreglass hull´s seamless nature leads many boatowners to conclude that repair must be difficult. But it´s not.

There is virtually no repair to a fibreglass hull or deck that a motivated owner can´t do as well (if not as quickly) as a professional. In this practical manual, Don Casey gives you all the advice you need to repair and maintain your fibreglass boat.

With clear explanations, step by instructions and helpful diagrams, Casey explains how to:
- Mend leaks
- Seal joints
- Fix cracks nd holes
- Replace portlights
- Restore a hull´s gloss
- Renew non-slip decks
- Deal with keel and rudder damage
