Nigel Calder Books

Retired, boatless, land dwellers, we are clearing off the bookshelf. These are in near-perfect condition and all prices include shipping (media mail)

Boat Owners Mechanical and Electrical Manual: How to Maintain, Repair and Improve Your Boat's Essential Systems. $29
Calder walks the reader through the repair, maintenance, and setting up of the boat's primary systems, including the electrical system, electronics equipment, generator sets, solar panels, wind and water generators, the engine, transmission, pumps, steering, waste disposal systems, and more. Hundreds of tips and techniques for maintaining, troubleshooting and fixing every working part and system on your boat--all clearly explained in step-by-step detail.

Refrigeration for Pleasureboats: Installation, Maintainence, Repair $11
Explains clearly and logically how and why refrigeration components work, how to keep them working efficiently and economically, and what to look for when something goes wrong. Provides all the step-by-step information an amateur needs to design and build a custom refrigeration unit that will cost far less than half the price of an off-the-shelf unit and will likely run better with far less drain on the batteries.
Nigel Calder's Cruising Handbook $29
From one of the most respected marine how-to authors on either side of the Atlantic, an indispensable resource for experienced and beginning cruisers alike. More than 750 drawings and photographs. Addresses all key technical and practical aspects of modern cruising systems and equipment. The first half of the book concentrates on how to select and set up a boat for cruising. The book's second half covers boat handling skills; core navigational expertise; anchoring techniques; weather understanding; heavy weather expertise; and specific skills for long-term and long-distance cruising.
