The text covers all types of craft from flat-bottom rowboats to
ocean cruisers and commercial vessels, and aids the builder in
overcoming difficulties and discouraging delays resulting from the
lack of easily available information on the practical side of
boatbuilding. Boatbuilding gives detailed instructions, with many
illustrations, on all phases of boatbuilding written out of actual
boatbuilding practice and aids the builder in planning each job in
its proper sequence in relation to those that follow. After a
chapter discussing the choice of plans suitable for amateur work
there are chapters on lofting, the backbone and setting up,
flat-bottom hull construction, V-bottom hull construction,
round-bottom hull construction, deck framing and building, special
construction (plywood, strip planking, lap-strake, diagonal,
ribband carvel, canvas), heavy construction, joiner-work,
iron-work, and spar making. Each chapter is organized for easy and
quick reference, and the book is completely indexed. An added
feature is the inclusion of building plans for nineteen boats
designed for this book and suitable for amateur building.
