Well well well... let's see, this book has done so many things for me. It is like an advisor, telling me what to do and what not to do. It tought me how to design my first yacht. It sold so well that I now own a rather large corperation, N.J.F. Yachts. N.J.F. Yachts makes many different types of yachts and catamarans. Well anyway, I highly recommend this book to anyone.
