SEVENTEEN IIMS HANDY GUIDES NOW AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT
The series of IIMS handy guides, launched a couple of years ago in paperback format under the collection heading of ‘What a marine surveyor needs to know about’, stands at seventeen publications currently.
IIMS has now taken the bold move to release the entire series of handy guides additionally as eBooks in downloadable pdf format, available exclusively via the IIMS website. So now the publications are available in paperback and eBook formats.
Delivering the handy guides in this new, downloadable format means that IIMS can offer them at a lower cost, typically discounted by up to 25%, as there are no printing and carriage charges to apply.
The latest handy guide to be published is What a marine surveyor needs to know about surveying sails by Ian Nicolson. To view the range of handy guides in downloadable pdf format go to

How to conduct a complete mast and rigging survey Using a series of photos, Kim Skov-Nielsen delivers an informative and powerful masterclass on the subject of inspecting and surveying masts and rigs using his extensive knowledge, gained over many years. He talks about how to inspect the mast and rigging, when to inspect it, what to expect as you inspect and what specifically to look for and where. He also speaks about how to include the findings and recommendations in the report as well as caveats. In his presentation, Kim touches on all types of rigging from rope to galvanised steel wire to carbon, as well as looking at different types of masts too, whilst reminding surveyors to keep a clear focus on their personal safety.
