Book Reviews of How to Build Glued Lapstrake Wooden Boats
Book Review: Simply Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I am currently building a Merlin Rocket racing sailing dinghy in Italy and I have purchased various books including those by The Gougeon Brothers, Ian Oughtred, John Leathern, Greg Rossel and others all of which are very good. However, I have never built a boat before and I needed a text which provided information from the ground up.
This book is first class. The authors provide a step by step approach to every single minute aspect of the building process. There are many innovative ideas and the book is generally written with great clarity. You will need a working knowledge of marine and woodworking terminology and you will probably spend ten or twenty minutes reading, rereading and reflecting on the techniques and steps involved in many sections. But the sheer beauty of the book is that it is all there so we can all get cracking.
Many thanks to the authors for writing such an excellent book and for giving all of us the opportunity to embark on the beautiful craft of glued clinker (lapstrake) wooden boatbuilding.
