Starting with information about fabrics, notions and the tools you will need to get going, a detailed description of sewing techniques follows - such as how to sew different types of seams, installation of zippers, piping, hems, patches and reinforcing, binding edges and making patterns. Not only are these details described and illustrated, the reason why is explained. These important details are not covered in the other books. The book continues then, with how-to instructions for many projects inside and outside the boat. All types of covers to protect the boat and its equipment from sun and rain, followed by larger projects such as biminis and dodgers, awnings and sail covers. A separate section on cushions explains all you need to know about designing and constructing practical, comfortable and durable interior and exterior cushions that will stand up to harsh conditions. Also included are many interior projects to organize and beautify your interior space - storage bags, bedding, curtains, screens. The last section covers repairs - to sails, and canvas - and how to prevent the problem from re-occurring.

Download or read book Desperate Voyage written by John Caldwell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In May 1946 John Caldwell set out to sail from Panama to Sydney to reunite with his wife who he hadn't seen for more than a year. Eager to reach his destination and unable to secure any other form of transport, he had to resort to singlehanded seamanship. After an ignominious scene in the harbor, where a tangled anchor led him to take an early dip, he spent ten days learning the rudiments of navigation and sailing from a book, before embarking on the 9,000 mile journey aboard the 20-foot Pagan. Ahead lay a mission that was to reveal in him elements not only of astounding courage and determination, but also of incredible foolhardiness. Within 500 miles of Panama John Caldwell had already been shipwrecked once and had his boat's engine and cockpit destroyed by an angry shark. Indefatigable, he decided to press on towards his goal.He endured the terrors and discomforts of life on the high seas and enjoyed the triumphs of fighting and winning against the elements. This is more than an exciting tale of sea-adventure. It is as compelling and unpredictable as a thriller. It is the story, witty and moving, of a man, motivated initially by love, and ultimately by his own fierce determination to survive.
