Building Small Boats
Greg Rossel
Here's a book on traditional small wooden boat construction that makes the whole process seem simple. And it's not really that hard-- you need only understand the whys of construction as well as the hows. This book tells you both. It covers everything from lofting to tools and sparmaking. If you're building a boat, or thinking of building a boat, get this book. Plans are clear and well-illustrated, and especially useful for novice boatbuilders is the extensive material on lofting.
