The Sharpie Book by Reuel Parker
A sharpie is a long, narrow, flat-bottom craft that evolved in the 19th century along the Connecticut shore as an oyster fisherman's boat. This book traces the development of the sharpie from its earliest days to the plywood-and-epoxy designs. It gives instructions that can be used to build sharpies of various types and sizes.
"..provides a wealth of rare and previously unpublished photographs." Boatbuilder "Parker instructs the reader in an interesting step-by-step manner that inspires desire and enthusiasm in even the most inept Yankee doodler. But even if you never plan to build a sharpie, this book will delight sailors and boatbuilders alike.
