About this product

Product Information

The definitive how-to manual for the most popular method of amateur boatbuilding. Stitch-and-glue boatbuilding may be the most popular method of amateur boatbuilding today. In this method the home builder cuts out marine plywood panels to prescribed shapes, then puts them together with wire stitches long enough to glue and seal the seams with epoxy. Once the epoxy cures, the stitches are removed, and the result is a handsome, strong, watertight boat. Stitch-and-Glue Boatbuilding lays out the basic building techniques; outlines the shortcuts and pitfalls; shows how to design your own boat or choose a plan to build from; how to select tools and materials; and how to paint, finish, and outfit the boat.

A good "primer"
Book is good for an introduction to "stitch and glue" boatbuilding, but being a 12+ year old book, there may be some techniques/product that have changed. Overall a good reference book

Stitch0and glue Boatbuilding--VERY USEFUL!!!
I bought this book thinking it would be the type of book that would allow me to build from the text, without having to purchase a separate set of plans. I wasn't disappointed--anyone with a moderate amount of woodworking skill, as well as an ability to follow directions carefully, should be able to build him- or herself a beautiful boat in a moderate amount of time, directly from this book. A nicely put-together book, with lots of useful photographs and drawings, this book belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who likes to work with his or her hands.

Good deal over the stores
Good deal and awsome boat building book very detailed too. I worried I never would get it took two weeks over the 7 days they said I would get it. But I would tell friends and family to buy from them anyways can't bet the deals ...
