Synopsis:

Boat-Building and Boating By Daniel Carter Beard

From the Back Cover: First published in 1911, D.C. Beard's classic how-to was designed to help boys build small craft ranging from a log raft to a houseboat. Based on the age of his audience, Beard assumed only the most basic of skills from potential builders, and his resulting directions and plans have become a classic in the school of "quick and dirty" boatbuilding.

Inside this small volume you'll find building directions for:"

* The Logomaran, a single-log raft with outriggers
* The "Man-Friday" rowing raft
* The "Crusoe " raft with full stern and covered cabin
* The "Chump's raft, developed to teach swimming
* The "Sailing Raft" for crossing lakes
* Slab and Dugout canoes
* War Canoe
* Folding Canoe
* Birch-Bark or Canvas Canoe
* Paddling Dory
* A "Yankee Pine" for rowing or outboard
* The "Rough and Ready," a small daysailer
* A "Cheap and Speedy Motor-Boat," and
* The "American Boys House Boat"

In addition, Beard covers the basics of nautical safety, sailing, and basic seamanship; how to rig a small boat or canoe for sailing; and a handy guide to knots for almost any nautical or harbor situation.
