Buehler's Backyard Boatbuilding by George Buehler

Buehler's Backyard Boatbuilding by George Buehler

Offers complete plans for seven cruising boats - from a 28-foot sailboat to a 55-foot power cruiser. This book tells you how to build boats using ordinary skills and materials and includes instructions.

"George Buehler is a throwback to an earlier, more self-reliant timeHis theme is that it isn't necessary to build 'approved' style yachts in an 'approved' fashion, it is more important to get on with building and using boats!" American Sailor "With an eye to economy and ease, Buehler has modernized wooden boatbuilding processes just enough to allow even the unskilled (and underfunded) to succeed." Boatbuilder "A rowdy, detailed, informative, sometimes profane and immensely practical compendium of boatbuilding techniques, comments and philosophy. Buehler's thumbnail descriptions...are as clear and concise as you will get. But best of all, Buehler believes you can have as much fun building your boat as you intend to have sailing it." Sailing "How to build wodden boats the Buehler way; which is to say, inexpensively, yet like the proverbial brick outhouse." WoodenBoat

George Buehler was born in Oregon in 1948, and has been messing around with boats ever since his Sainted Mother gave him a copy of Scuppers the Sailor Dog. Buehler resides with his wife and two dogs on Whidbey Island, Washington, where he is known for the sterling qualities of his friends, his kindness to stray dogs and abandoned boats, and his collection of bad habits. He's a fair shot with a pistol, and a Croquet Ace.
