Boatbuilding for Beginners (and Beyond)

This book takes the complete novice-armed only with a gleam in the eye, and a basic knowledge of hammer, saw, and screwdriver --- and walks him or her through the process of building a boat. The only materials needed are easily available from any lumberyard: plywood, 2x4s, nails, and wood glue. The process is simple, the result is extraordinary --- your own boat, ready to sail, in just a week or two, for a fraction of the cost of buying a factory-built (boring!) boat. And the sense of accomplishment is beyond compare.
