Judith Binder has forty years of experience finishing and maintaining vessels, furniture, and houses. She is also an accomplished sailor with 150,000 miles under sail, so she knows what stands the test of time. Living afloat continuously for thirteen years, raising and educating her two sons while they sailed to over eighty countries, she learnt how to organize, victual, and manage small ships. Practical Boat Bits and Tips has the best features of her vessel, recently rebuilt after crossing nearly every ocean and housing a family afloat When we first began building our vessel in 1970, finding good ideas to do boatie things was far harder than actually doing the work. For us, if we could see it, we could build it. This photo book illustrates the things we have found easy to do and invaluable for those with the desire to enjoy life afloat.
