Synopsis

This vintage volume is revered as a comprehensive and highly detailed manual for the professional and ambitious amateur seeking to understand or undertake the building of a wood sailing or auxiliary yacht. A detailed guide to designing, building, and maintaining a yacht, with information on everything from deck planking to installing skylights.
