The Finely Fitted Yacht
Volumes I & II
by Ferenc Maté
Illustrated by Candace Maté
This nautical shows how you can turn almost any sailboat into a safe,
practical and beautiful yacht. The over 200 small, do-it-yourself projects,
all charmingly illustrated by Candace Mate, range from cockpit-grates and
miniature fireplaces to sun-awnings and skylights. The combined volumes
cover both the interior and exterior with chapters dedicated to the galley,
chart table, stowage, engine room, cockpit, safety gear, ground tackle,
sails and canvas. Mate's writing, always authoritative, unfailingly
humorous, is engaging and a joy to read. This is a major work that should be
in every ship's library. Illustrated with over 400 drawings and B&W photos.
Albatross Publishing, Vancouver BC Canada, 1981, 3rd printing, 606 pages, 6
