Details in Classic Boat Construction |
|

Just revised to include a new appendix on adhesives, plus more photos and diagrams. This encyclopedic volume takes you through every detail of planning and building a carvel-planked hull. The beautiful 30' Lyle Hess cutter Taleisin is the example, but the process, tips and techniques work for any traditionally built boat.
