Description: Building Your Dream Boat is intended to guide the amateur boatbuilder
in how-to-do-it fashion through the many details of construction. One of the salient
features of this book is the meticulous attention given all aspects of boat fabrication.
Anyone building boats soon realizes that, though the hull requires the heaviest
work, it represents only a quarter to a third of the time and cost of construction.
There are many decisicns and working hours which still lie ahead after the hull
has been completed. Each of the tasks seems to demand a different skill and frequently
benefits from a sailor’s background. While thoroughly covering hull construction,
the author places no less emphasis on those areas of boatbuilding that
are often treated casually. There are chapters which deal with the complexities of
engine and electrical installations as well as advances in rigs and rigging. Finishes,
paints, adhesives, new construction materials and methods are discussed fully, enabling
the craftsman to make intelligent choices in constructing a reliable, sturdy,
and good-looking vessel. Making the assumption, for example, that any builder |
wants to feel proud of the boat he is fashioning, the author takes great pains to
provide for the internal! layout and a quality of cabinetry which will give the craft a
custom-made look.
As an experience. sailor, Wood knows what it means to achieve a goal—in this
case, to build a safe and able vessel, ready and properly equipped to sail away and
he is unsparing in his efforts to smooth the way for his readers to complete a successful
boatbuilding project. Finally, an intimate knowledge of the seaman’s mentality
enables the author to infuse his text with those details that sailors, as true
jacks-of-all-trades, will readily understand and appreciate.
