For cutting or smoothing in tight spots, nothing quite beats a Dremel tool.
One such unit is the
Dremel 4300-5/40 High Performance Rotary Tool Kit
which can vary from 5,000 to 35,000 RPM. Such high speeds can make short work of
even tough jobs, such as cutting through stainless rigging wire.
For heavy-duty cutting, I like to use diamond wheels, which don't fly apart like the standard cutoff wheels.

This Old Boat
by Don Casey
Subtitled "turn a rundown fiberglass boat into a
first-class yacht on a shoestring budget," this book is the best
introduction I know boat maintenance for the new or prospective owner
of a "modern classic" sailboat. Starting with guidelines
for selecting a boat, Casey proceeds to fiberglass repairs, cabin and
deckwork, spars and rigging, boat equipment, woodwork, electrical,
plumbing, refrigeration, painting, canvas work and sails. All of this
is described in clear, simple terms perfect for the inexperienced.
This is the book that taught me fiberglass work. But don't let it
fool you; this book is appropriate for experienced boatowners, too.
I still refer to it.
