How To Build A Wooden Boat

Book review

Thank you the book was all I expected and more

Harry's Review of "How To Build A Wooden Boat"

I'm going to give the "How To Build A Wooden Boat" book a 5 star review even though I haven't even opened the package yet! But I know it must be a great book because it was mentioned in an article in your Wooden Boat magazine (WB 273, Bringing GO GO GIRL Home). The reason I have not opened the package is because I bought the books for a Birthday present for my son Tom Brown. Tom owns Kia Ora which is an 83 year old 38' wooden boat which requires constant maintenance. He is currently doing a partial frame (rib) and floor replacement project on 20 frames and 10 floors on the port and starboard area where the mast is stepped. So he's doing a lot of fitting and scarfing and whatever else you people do to keep these old boats serviceable. Tom's the wooden boat fanatic and I'm just a Tag A Long, but I love reading your magazine. It provides a lot of information and inspiration for my son. I have been bugging him to take pictures of this project, and maybe we can get it published in your magazine.

Great book

I can almost read this book cover to cover, like a story! That's a first for a boatbuilding manual. Excellent illustrations by Sam Manning.
