Year: 1979 Language: english Author: Mike Pratt Genre: Technical book Publisher: International Marine Publishing Edition: First ISBN: 0-87742-123-4 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 294 Description: Steel-built pleasure boats are still widely regarded as being expensive, prone to rust and corrosion, and generally full of pitfalls. In this book Mike Pratt fully demonstrates that, on the contrary, steel can be the most economical and trouble-free material in which to build and maintain your boat. With the rapidly escalating cost of other boatbuilding materials, steel is becoming ever more attractive in price. And the greater interest now focused on steel-built boats has resulted in an ever wider choice ofplans. Drawing on his own experience with his stay sail schooner Abraxis, and after visiting boatyards in Britain and on the Continent, he has established steel's many advantages over other materials : it makes for a strong, watertight, fire-resistant boat, adaptable to refitting, and within the means of most amateurs. The book is profusely illustrated with diagrams and photographs to help the reader choose his plan and to see him through each stage of construction. The great disadvantage for the amateur interested in a steel yacht has been the relative lack of detailed impartial information. With Own a Steel Boat Mike Pratt has compiled a complete and lucid handbook for the amateur boat-builder (and boat-owner) in steel for the man who, in the author's words, 'has to pay the bills, and live with the result of his work'.
