A practical guide to inspecting small craft

Paul Stevens organizes the inspection of yachts and small craft as a hands-on process, covering the equipment and surveying bodies involved as well as how to assess defects and their severity. The subject range runs from keel, topsides and coachroof to stern gear and rigging, with moisture-related problems and the use of moisture meters included. Close-up photographs, step-by-step procedures and checklists support the book’s practical focus. The material connects boat inspection with both purchase decisions and the work of formal surveying.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Small-craft owners checking their own boats
  • People considering a boat purchase
  • Surveying students and practicing surveyors
