Keen sailors with a Practical Boat Owner magazine subscription are being encouraged to have a go at some DIY in the latest issue.
According to the publication, boat owners can save their hard-earned cash if they tackle engine leaks, replace shaft seals, patch holes in wood themselves and even encourages people to have a go at revamping their cockpit.
As well as giving thorough instructions on how to have a go at these tasks, it provides a step-by-step guide for seven more practical projects which, once complete, will ensure that your boat is one of the best on the marina.
And once your boat is looking its best, you'll be wanting somewhere new to show it off, and Practical Boat Owner can help with that too.
The magazine suggests visiting Dives sur-Mer in France, which it says is a "delightful Normandy alternative", especially since it was revamped with a new marina.
