Simple Boat-Building - Rowing Flattie, V-Bottom Sailing Dinghy, Moulded Pram, Hull for Outboard

This vintage book is a complete and beginner-friendly guide to building boats, with information on the design and construction of a rowing 'flattie', a V-bottomed sailing dinghy, a moulded pram, and more. It was designed for those looking to build a boat on a budget and without special tools, and was written by an amateur with actual experience building twelve boats. Contents include: 'Hints on Designing', 'Sequence and Method in Building', 'How to Build a Dinghy Flattie', 'Finishing Details', 'How to Build a V-Quartered Sailing Dinghy', 'How to Build a Moulded Pram Dinghy', 'How to Build an Outboard Run-About', and 'How to Build a Dagger-Trunk'. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on boat building.
