No marine professional or serious boater should be without Boat Mechanical Systems Handbook. "Dave Gerr has a knack for breaking down the more esoteric concepts of naval architecture into language thats easily understood by the layman, which is one of the reasons why his writing often appears in the pages of SAIL.
