Couverture / Jaquette

This vintage book is a complete guide to small sailing craft, with a focus on the construction thereof. Written for the amateur boat builder, this handbook is intended to cover all the problems commonly faced by those who attempt to build a boat of their own design, and will be of considerable value to anyone occupied in such an endeavour. Contents include: ¿General Introduction¿, ¿First Stages in Building¿, ¿Erecting and Planking¿, ¿Miscellaneous Jobs and Tools¿, ¿Completing the Hard Chine Runabout¿, ¿Timbers, Tools and Some Useful Hints¿, ¿Building a 3-Tonner¿, ¿Construction of a Larger Hull¿, ¿Construction of a Larger Hull¿, ¿Miscellaneous¿, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on boat building.
