They will learn how to deal with evaluation, repair and replacement of the hardware, canvaswork and upholstery.
The appendices provided at the end of the publication and supplemented with so vivid and informative illustrations, will make you understand the tasks as well as the costs and labour involves in the boat restoration projects.
