Product Description:
The first comprehensive book on stripbuilding almost any type of small boat
Strip-planking is a popular method of amateur boat construction, but until now there has never been a book that showed how to use it for more than one type of boat. Author Nick Schade presents complete plans for three boats of different types (canoe, kayak, and a dinghy) and shows you step-by-step how to build them. Written for all amateur builders, the book covers materials, tools, and safety issues.

It was a good effort, but I wish in this case it had been more linear in the presentation. Don't get me wrong, I would buy it again.

Nick's 11 more years of experience are put into this book! a lot of little tips that can help any one building small wooden boats i wish it had three more kayaks but i guess a canoe and a pram is appealing to a larger crowd... don't miss this book and if you have'nt read the first book order them both they are a must for anyone in love of building their own small wooden boats.

This book also provides offset dimensions and instructions to build a dinghy, a one-person canoe and a rough-water sea kayak.
This book provides an excellent overview of wood-core and fiberglass construction, and detailed information on working ... Read More
