SynopsisWhy is stitch-and-glue boatbuilding so popular? Any number of construction methods will produce a beautiful boat. But for the backyard builder with limited experience and a tight budget, the choice is not so complicated. Traditional plank-on-frame and cold-molded construction require complicated lofting and building molds--to say nothing of expensive tooling and lots of time. Stitch-and-glue construction, on the other hand, can produce the same results with a substantial savings in time and money. The process is quicker, easier, uses fewer parts, and produces a boat that is much easier to maintain--without the building molds and with only the simplest lofting. For tools, you need little more than a circular saw, a sander/polisher/grinder, a block plane, a framing square, a level, and a tape measure. Sam Devlin has elevated stitch-and-glue boatbuilding to an artform, and his graceful designs have attracted the attention of backyard builders across the country. Here is all you need to know to build the boat of your dreams, whether it's a 7-foot dinghy or a 40-foot power cruiser. Devlin's Boatbuilding: How to Build Any Boat the Stitch-and-Glue Way shares the wisdom of his 16 years of experience designing, building, and helping others build his fleet of small sail- and powerboats. It's all here, from choosing a design and setting up shop to painting the finished hull and launching. There is also a gallery of Devlin's designs and a detailed appendix listing sources for tools and other materials.

A Well Written Explanation of Stitch and Glue Boat Building
Devlin writes well with humble references to himself. He explains without preaching. This book is well organized and includes an index. He uses simple language in very direct sentences. There is a good mix of illustrations, both drawings and photographs, that serve the sentences. I've watched a video by Devlin on YouTube as well as well as watching and reading about stitch and glue boat building. I read this in preparation for doing my first stitch and glue boat and feel more confident as a result.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

This is an extremely well written book. One of the better boatbuilding books in the world. The author is a good explainer who uses plain language. I've built a few of boats, so I know some things. I learned more! I am using the techniques in this book on the current project of my own design.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
