Besides Practical Sailor, can anyone suggest a good "how-to" book or
article
(particularly for a beginner) dealing with the application of bottom

and other maintenance procedures?


All the BoatUS stores have free handouts (mostly from Don Casey) on how to
do
most common maintenance tasks. Also, Casey's book "This Old Boat" is a
good
reference volume on how to do just about everything on your boat
