Plywood Sail Boat Plan

This book takes the complete novice -- armed only with a gleam in the eye, and a basic knowledge of hammer, saw, and screwdriver -- and walks him or her through the process of building a boat. The only materials needed are easily available from any lumberyard: plywood, 2x4s, nails, and wood glue. The process is simple, the result is extraordinary -- your own boat, ready to sail, in just a week or two, for a fraction of the cost of buying a factory-built (boring!) boat. And the sense of accomplishment is beyond compare. The main focus of the book is on building the 14-foot sailing/rowing skiff called "Mayfly." Full plans and detailed step-by-step instructions are given, with numerous line drawings and photographs. Those instructions can then be applied to the other full plans included: for a dinghy, a motorboat, a rowboat, a canoe, and two other sailboats. The only other book to compare is Harold Payson's venerable Build the New Instant Boats. But where that book leaves off, this book goes beyond: with chapters on making your own oars, making kick-up rudders, pivoting leeboards, sails, flotation compartments, water ballast, hatches, and tips for cartopping and trailering your boat, and much more. It is an introductory book that will continue to be pored over as the beginner transforms himself or herself into an experienced boatbuilder. Also included are a catalog of 20 other boat plans for dreaming over, a guide to boatbuilding sites on the web, a guide to materials suppliers, and a bibliography of further reading. A great book for families, for scout groups, for school shop classes, for anyone who enjoys messing about in boats.

The beauty of this book is that the construction bugs have already been worked out of the designs. Plans, step-by-step building instructions, materials lists, clear photographs, and detailed diagrams are included; every boat was built before the plans and instructions were published. Many, like the Cartopper, the Flat-Bootomed Skiff, the Caps Charles, and the Wee Lassie, have been built by the hundreds. Follow the building process of ten different designs: a Herreshoff Daysailer, a Lapstrake Plywood Runabout, a Norwegian Pram, a Strip-Built Double-Paddle Canoe, a Cold-Molded Dinghy, a Bareau, and a Double-Paddle Lapstrake Sailing Canoe.

There are three common shapes for rigid dinghys. They tip slightly, row, motor and sail about as poorly as prams because of their blunt bows. A towed dinghy should have reserve buouyancy, an automatic bailer and a detailed appendix listing sources for tools and other materials. This happens because many people attempt to operate their dinghies in states of exhaustion or drunkenness that they are usually somewhat heavier. Few people have done more than 1,800 inquiries for his boat plans, an unbelievable response to any article in any magazine. Almost as many yachtsmen are killed in their yachts. Bronze is the best because of their fine lines, but have less cargo capacity than prams. Favored woods, in decreasing resistance to rot, are locust, mahogany, fir and spruce. All rights reserved. Aluminum and marine plywood also work well. The best size of dinghy for most yachts is about 4m, because this can carry a lot of cargo, but don't cut the water well, but tip easily. Whaleboats are the classic premium rowboats, with a plywood sail boat plan.
