Simple Boat-Building - Rowing Flattie, V-Bottom Sailing Dinghy, Moulded Pram, Hull for Outboard

This vintage book is a complete and beginner-friendly guide to building boats, with information on the design and construction of a rowing ¿flattie¿, a V-bottomed sailing dinghy, a moulded pram, and more. It was designed for those looking to build a boat on a budget and without special tools, and was written by an amateur with actual experience building twelve boats. Contents include: ¿Hints on Designing¿, ¿Sequence and Method in Building¿, ¿How to Build a Dinghy Flattie¿, ¿Finishing Details¿, ¿How to Build a V-Quartered Sailing Dinghy¿, ¿How to Build a Moulded Pram Dinghy¿, ¿How to Build an Outboard Run-About¿, and ¿How to Build a Dagger-Trunk¿. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on boat building.
