Samba is an Angus Primrose-designed North Wind 40, fibreglass yacht. She was built in the later 1970s and has the capacity to inspire passion and dedication – the first requirement for a successful restoration project in any material. This is a minutely-detailed, intensively-photographed book presenting the individual project in discrete sections that will offer guidance to anyone taking a long hard look at the future potential of their own vessel. As someone who still sails with a pink plastic washing-up bowl, I’ll admit to skipping the advice on double sinks yet Roselló is right in so many important respects – the value of complete decluttering, of knowing one’s limitations and never putting the tool box away until the boat is ready for sea.
