Boatbuilding is a tirelessly evolving craft, with new techniques and materials constantly being developed. This book is for all those interested in the satisfying challenge of designing and building boats with marine plywood (as well as a variety of other materials).

Each is discussed in detail, emphasizing design, construction, and such component materials as solid and cored fiberglass and clinker-planked cedar. Packed with photos and diagrams, New Plywood Boats gives insight into the new technology and techniques of boatbuilding, and includes a special section on the work of designer Phil Bolger. Throughout, Jones examines every line and detail, giving the reader a unique opportunity to study at his side. A book full of inspiration for the small-boat enthusiast.
