Good books on repairing/restoring wooden sailboats?
My father has been sailing all his life (I’m relatively new to it) and understands how to do it. We’ve been given and old boat by a friend to repair. The paneling is cracked on top and stuff, but its structurally very strong. I’d love to help out because it seems like a great proccess, but I would like to have more knowledge about it so i understand why we’re doing what we’re doing!
So. Any books?
