Product Description
Product Description
A manual on DIY interior boat-building, designed for boat-owners who are not completely happy with the layout of their production boat or who want to fit out a new or renovated hull. Every detail of each project is explained and illustrated with step-by-step colour photographs, and the techniques and procedures shown are applicable to every type and size of boat.
About the Author
After studying mechanical engineering, Michael Naujok worked in a designer's office for three years. In 1975 he joined the staff of Yacht magazine in Hamburg, and since 1980 has been responsible for boat test and DIY construction projects. In 1971 he built his first seven metre cruiser followed in the next few years by five more boats of up to 10 metres in length. In this book Michael Naujok illustrates at first hand, with over 450 colour photographs, the practical aspects of building the interior fittings for a boat of any size.

Format:Paperback
I recently did up my galley and I was needing a good reference book. This was excellent , it had clear step by step photos, that were easy to follow. It had practical advice and covers some basic skills: cabin as a workshop, profiled battens and fittings, countersinking, screwing and plugging, doors frames and spring catches, interior linings and making curves and corners. It then covers the various all areas eg heads, galley, chart table but it also covers exterior areas, deck and coach roof, keel, windows and much much more. It doesn't cover use of tools which you can get from other books , it is a very comprehensive book.

This is a wonderful guidance worth every second of reading. Just looking at the boat interior being built from scratch in accurate, well-done pictures, is already a guide, - but step-by-step accurate instructions just finish the picture. There's only one outcome after reading this book - doing something for your own boat.

A great do-it-yourself book for replacing boat interiors
2 Oct 2006
Format:Paperback
Naujok started with a bare production hull for a 34 foot sailboat, and finished it to standards equal to any production yacht. Along the way he took great photos showing the details of each step. The illustrations are excellent. A great feature of this book is that it systematically takes you through the entire fitting-out process.
Like all books, this one is limited in how much information it can pack into one volume. Completing a yacht interior usually involves applying the skills of a cabinetmaker, electrician, plumber, upholsterer, etc., and while this book shows you what's involved, you'll need other materials if you're not experienced in each of these areas. Surprisingly, all of the work is done with hand tools and a limited number of portable power tools (and, I guess, a lot of patience...). Stationary woodworking machines such as tablesaw, bandsaw, and sanders would save considerable labor.
My biggest criticism has to do with the translation. The book was originally written in German, and translated in the UK. As such, much of the terminology and product names are unfamiliar in North America. For this reason you'll want to refer to other sources. But, if you're considering building or rebuilding a boat interior, books are going to be your least expense.

Book review
26 July 2005
Format:Paperback
A well-written step-by-step guide for refitting a sailing vessel. The photographs were excellent. Mr Naujok included many helpful hints on projects. I had hoped for more detailed instruction on redoing headliner and ideas for modernizing an old interior than what was covered in this book. However, it is a valuable reference book for do-it-yourselfers.

Really a good manual
15 May 2007
Format:Paperback
Boat-building is a technical area where good manuals are printed in any language, but somehow very poor about interior design and construction. This book, very practical, professionally tested and full of detailed color images, fills up the gap. The manual is intended to help both the amateur boatbuilder, both the professional carpenter. The planned interior is intended to be a medium-size one, but with the same skill you can construct a longer boat.
