Product Description:
In Stitch-and-Glue Boatbuilding, one of the leading practitioners and teachers of the craft assembles the definitive how-to manual for the most popular method of amateur boatbuilding today. Enlivened with tales of boat shop mishaps and designs gone bad that entertain as they instruct, this invaluable book includes full plans and assembly instructions for nine boats--seven kayaks, a sailing skiff, and a wherry. Step-by-step photos and drawings make this an ideal guide for visual learners.

who needs to buy expensive full size plans when you can build right out of this book some of the best kayaks ever designed. some like the North Bay have become collectible peices of art which you simply can't get from CLC anymore build one with a strip deck incorporating the tecnique taught in Nick schade's books and you have realy got it made!!! a little lacking on those extra tips which make your first experience not so scary but still very much recomended!

The book is very well written and very informative. The plans are a bit small, but since they do include matrix numbers, you could use them to build the boats. I am very excited about building the boat and I hope that I will be able to afford the material soon.

If you want build a boat, this is the book! Very good! And very simple too, you just need to have hands and will. I do living in Brazil, and I do read and speak english a little, but the book is very simple to read and understand. I'd start my own boat last week.

However full hull offsets are provided which is the one part you can't figure out on your own, as well as clear simple assembly hints. I'm an engineer with zero woodworking or fiberglass experience, I was able to build a beautiful, simple kayak from this book. ... Read More

I bought this book hoping that it would be a good starter book for building stitch and glue kayaks and canoes. While it is a good book with information on the stitch and glue process, the concentration is along the lines of the Chesapeake Light Craft (CLC) boat kits. There are no plans in the book although what fooled me while I checked out the book at the bookstore, was that a portion of the CLC plans were reproduced in the book, but nothing to build a boat from (obviously) but that was not stated ...
