    Great Resource for Beginners

    I've had the opportunity to read "Boatbuilding with Plywood", and it does not disappoint. All of the essential information for a beginner to undertake a project, whether from plans or a kit, is included. My only suggestion, for the next printing, is that the current photos be updated with high resolution color images to better illustrate the text information.
