Amateur Boat Building by Michael Verney

This vintage book is a complete guide to small sailing craft, with a focus on the construction thereof. Written for the amateur boat builder, this handbook is intended to cover all the problems commonly faced by those who attempt to build a boat of their own design, and will be of considerable value to anyone occupied in such an endeavour. Contents include: General Introduction, First Stages in Building, Erecting and Planking, Miscellaneous Jobs and Tools, Completing the Hard Chine Runabout, Timbers, Tools and Some Useful Hints, Building a 3-Tonner, Construction of a Larger Hull, Construction of a Larger Hull, Miscellaneous, etc. 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.
