Whether you are contemplating your first-ever boatbuilding project or trying to decide what design you'd like to build next, Greg R�ssel can help. Here's just a glimpse of what's inside this complete overview of wooden boatbuilding:

How rowing, sailing, paddling, and powerboat designs perform, and how they compare in cost, time, and necessary skills for building
How wooden boats are built, including the pros and cons of carvel, lapstrake, dory lap, stitch and glue, strip plank, and other methods
How to choose the best boat and building method for your next project
How to loft a hull, steam bend frames, scarf a joint, cut a rabbet, laminate stems, and spile planks
How to take the lines off an old classic whose plans have been lost
How to make oars, spars, coamings, knees, gaff jaws, cleats, and more

Greg R�ssel writes with warmth, wit, and an engaging style. The Boatbuilder's Apprentice is a must guide for anyone planning or even dreaming about building a wooden boat.

“Greg R�ssel is a Renaissance man. While there are many talented boatbuilders in the world, only a handful are also good teachers. Even fewer can write or illustrate effectively. Yet this author is highly skilled in each of these areas. . . . The Boatbuilder's Apprentice is a successful blend of technique and wisdom, and is, I believe, destined to become a classic.”-Karen Wales, WoodenBoat Review
