Product Description:
Larry Pardey is accepted as one of the master craftsmen of the wooden-boat building world. He and his wife, Lin, have built two strong, handsome boats and sailed twice around the world in them. This impressive book shows the process of constructing a boat hull with extensive photographs and drawings and includes ample time-saving procedures. From financial and time planning, lofting, floors and framing, selection of materials, planking and spiling, design consideration, to deck beams, man-hour norms, and details critical to wooden boat construction, this volume serves as the most comprehensive guide a potential builder could ever use.Readers will also appreciate the discussions of how to select from numerous construction methods and materials, how to set up the shop, and tips for sharpening and making your own tools. The new appendix on proper adhesive selection is must reading for those wishing to have a boat that stays together, no matter how long or where its used. Anyone who has dreamed of building a boat or would like to make his or her own repairs-but has felt restricted by the potential costs of gathering the materials and figuring out how to do the work-will be thrilled by this informative and comprehensive book, written by an internationally recognized shipwright who understands a beginners needs.

If you are even just thinking about building a sailboat in the traditional frame and planking method than this is the book for you. Every step of constructing the hull and deck is detailed with excellent photos and very descriptive text.
