Book Description
The building of boats is ever new, with techniques and materials constantly being developed. This book is for all those interested in the challenge and satisfaction of designing and building boats with marine plywood as well as a variety of other materials.
Thomas Firth Jones gives detailed accounts of his exciting new building projects over the last ten years, from row and paddle-boats to multihull prototypes. Each boat is discussed in detail, with much emphasis on design, construction and the materials used, such as solid and cored fiberglass, and clinker-planked cedar. Packed with photos and diagrams, New Plywood Boats, and a Few Others gives insight into the new technology and techniques of boatbuilding, and includes a special section on the work of the designer Phil Bolger. Throughout this book, Jones examines every line and every detail of his boats, and gives the reader a unique opportunity to study along with him. A book full of inspiration for the small boat enthusiast.
