This book is a collection of vintage articles on the subject of building
boats, with information on the design and construction of canoes, motor
boats, dinghies, and more. With simple, step-by-step instructions and
helpful diagrams, are ideal for those with little or no previous
experience. Contents include: "A Junior Teach Yourself Book - Sailing
and Small Boats for Boys and Girls", "Dinghy Sailing - Simply
Explained", "Learning to Sail", "Teach Yourself Sailing", "The Cruiser's
Manual - A Complete Handbook of Yacht Cruising Under Sail and Power",
and "Yachts and Their Recognition". 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.
