Building Small Boats by Greg Rossel
For years Greg has been teaching teaching lofting, skiff building, and
the "Fundamentals of Boatbuilding". at the WoodenBoat School. Greg's
talent for relaying this experience into the written word has resulted
in a text with a straight-forward friendly approach, including helpful
drawings and photographs. The combination will drive-home the lessons.
Building Small Boats is the ideal book for the construction of boats
under 25 feet in length. It's perfect for folks looking to have some of
the mysteries of the building process peeled away, or just boning-up on a
good technique or two. This book has fast become a best-seller. A
classic in the making.
Lakes and rivers, ponds and coastal waters are bound to see more great
boats plying their waters because of this book. This the classic text on
carvel and traditional lapstrake boatbuilding.
No glue-lap-ply, strip, or cold-molding in this book. Just
straight-forward traditional building for the under 25-footer crowd.
Building Small Boats is heavily illustrated with Greg's drawings, and
written with the primary goal of making the subject at hand easily
understood.
