Opis

The inaugural title in our exclusive new series of books about traditional boats and traditional seamanship.

Wooden
boats didn't disappear with the invention of GRP. Building them is a
classic craft that attracts people with a keen interest in traditional
boats and is a thriving activity amongst professional craftsmen and DIY
boatbuilders alike.

This thoroughly modern book aimed at the
novice builder and accessible to the amateur takes a fresh new approach
to a timeless activity. The focus is on classic boat construction and
restoration, but at all stages modern methods, materials and techniques
are employed, together with step-by-step diagrams and explanations.

Well
illustrated with colour photos and detailed close-up watercolour
illustrations, this book will be invaluable for students of boat design
and construction, do-it-yourself boatbuilders and even modelmakers. A
landmark in wooden boat building books.
