INTRODUCTION:
- Who with an interest in things nautical hasn’t been gripped by monomaniacal passion to build a boat? As my friend George Putz used to say, those who haven’t are eithe「psycho-emotionally
wrecks or their nautical interest isn’t as serious as they thought it was.
(There are those – usually cynical, non-nautically included spouses – who
see the mania to build a boat as itself an indication·of psycho-emotional
wreckage, but we won’t get into that….) - Some people with a desire to build a boat fight off the notion. They convince
themselves that they don’t have the skills to do the work properly, or
lack the necessary b叫ding space, or don’t have the tools or the money, or
can’t find the plans for the boat of their dreams. Others surrender to the
imperative and get on with the 」ob. They know full well that given the
desire the skills can be learned; the building space can be found; so, too, the
tools, the money, and the plans. - The truth of the matter is that anyone with a reasonable facility with
their hands can build a boat. This is because all wooden boats are built in
pieces. If you can make one piece, you can make another. If you can make
another, you can make yet another. If you take the project step by step,
concentrating on one piece at a time and paying attention to how each
piece relates to the others, you will eventually have a seemingly complex
whole constructed of several simple parts. - The keys to the building of a proper wooden boat are a carefully cons吐
ered construction plan, good materials, and good workmans坪These are
manifest in this book, which describes the building of ten boats: the plans
to follow, the materials to use, and the skills and methods necessary ~to
make each project a success.
