Thoroughly updated with respect to modern tools and materials, this Boatbuilding Manual remains both a professional reference and the first book a building amateur should buy. This edition, like its predecessors, emphasizes traditional wood construction but also surveys plywood, wood-epoxy, fiberglass, steel, aluminum, and other boatbuilding methods. New to this edition are a chapter on modelmaking; tables of metric equivalents; an appendix on safety; an expanded source guide for fasteners, bronze hardware, wood, and other staples of boat building; and an extensive annotated list of additional reading organized by topic.
