This vintage book is a complete and accessible guide to boat
construction, with full instructions for designing and building punts,
skiffs, canoes, sailing boats, and more. With detailed working drawings
and simple, step-by-step instructions, this volume is ideal for those
with little previous experience, and would make for a fantastic addition
to collections of related literature. Contents include:
"Introductory-Designing", "Tools and Materials", "Punts", "Clench-Built
Skiffs", "The Rob Roy Canoe", "The Sailing Boat", "Canadian
Bateau-Canvas Canoe-American Shooting Punt", etc. Many vintage books
such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with
this in mind that we are republishing "Practical Boat Building for
Amateurs" now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a
specially commissioned new introduction on constructing boats.
