He devotes many pages to the basics: tools (hand, hand/power & stationary) & how to build your own; woodworking joints; facts & opinions; before getting to work on the boat in chapter 9 of 16. Disappointingly for me, only one chapter is on the yacht interior, chapter 12: "Niceties & Necessities Below Decks". There is little on interior layout options, space saving ideas , use of modern fittings & materials such as laminates & synthetic fibre, provisions for plumbing & electrics, finishing etc.
Having said alll this, I would buy the book again just for the many practical tips I have taken & used to good effect, from how to build & use a SLAT (sliding auxilliary table - a very useful table saw accessory) to how to coil a bandsaw blade properly!
In summary, an essential reference book for the yacht joiner, rich in tips & tricks of the trade, perhaps lacking in the use of modern materials,utilisation of space & the interaction of joinery with modern fittings & hardware.
