Boat Building Master Course (Paperback): Morten Olesen Boat Building Master Course (Paperback)
Morten Olesen
R966 Discovery Miles 9 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

First-time boat builder? Never fear You are exactly the reason I created the Boat Building Master Course. In all my years as a boat builder and Naval Architect, I can't count how many times I've been asked how to build a boat. It's not complicated, but still, many doubt they'd be able to complete the task. Boat building does seem like a major undertaking. While the boat plans I sell offer far more instruction and clarity than most others, I wanted you to be absolutely sure you could do it. That's when I developed the Boat Building Master Course.

Everything you need to know is included in this impressive Boat Building Master Course. Written in everyday language (not techy jargon). It gives you complete knowledge of boat building from bow to stern including:

Easy-to-follow instructions, sketches and photos that cover every step of the process so you can actually see how it's done.

Insider tips and tricks I've discovered over my lifetime as a master boat builder and Naval Architect that will help you solve complicated problems the easy way

And included in this exclusive version of the Master Course is 3 full sets of boat plans.

Here is what's included in this exclusive Boat Building Master Course: Beginner's Guide to Boat Building Boat building like our grandfathers did Building your new boat Building materials Building places Lofting Manual Tools The boat plans Assembly Manual Gluing the seams Laminating Manual Fillets at the chine and inside Applying fiberglass tape Fairing and epoxy coating Epoxy Manual Dispensing and Mixing Adding Fillers and Additives Bonding (gluing) Final surface preparation and coating Final thoughts

And a lot more topics to help you get the boat built right...

Happy boat building,

Master boat builder and Naval Architect Morten Olesen

The Historian Who Changed the Way Naval Battles Were Fought In 1859 Alfred Thayer Mahan graduated second in his class from the U.S. Naval Academy. Unfortunately, he hated the smoky, steam-driven, ships of his time, and longed for the days of square-rigged sailing vessels. Making matters worse, when he eventually got command, he was terrible at it. HIs ships had this unnerving tendency to... well... run into things-other ships, piers, and so forth. In 1885 he was appointed to the Naval War College to teach naval history and tactics, and his true calling emerged. He might have been a terrible ship commander, but he was an absolute genius as a naval historian and theoretician. HIs books were avidly read by naval officers the world over. They shaped the way modern navies would be organized-and, more importantly, revolutionized the way ships would fight. Now, for the first time, Mahan's principal works-along with his autobiography-are brought together in a single collection.

SHIPPING CARRIES MORE THAN 90 PERCENT OF WORLD TRADE. The world fleet of merchant ships and tankers provide the means of transport of every conceivable type of product: grain, crude oil, coal and gas, iron ore, bauxite/alumina and other raw materials, chemicals, fertilisers, vast amounts of foodstuff s, timber and construction materials without which the world economy would come to a standstill. . The globalization of the world economy has seen a huge growth in the volume of the international seaborne trade, in bulk or in containers. In parallel to its economic activity, shipping has developed a very rich, varied and specialised terminology which is not always easily understood by the lay man. With over 10 000 English entries translated in French and Spanish this dictionary should be a useful and helpful tool for the students in maritime institutes or commercial schools, the translators and the interpreters, to all the people who are interested in understanding the language of this vibrant sector of the world economy.
