About this title

Synopsis

The quick and cost-effective way to build the boat of your dreams

For nearly 30 years, Devlin’s Boatbuilding Manual has been walking backyard boat builders like you through the process of creating a beautiful, seaworthy vessel with your own hands. This popular guide focuses on the stitch-and-glue process―a simpler, cheaper method than plank-on-frame and cold-molded construction―that produces the same stunning results.

Now, master boat builder Sam Devlin has updated his classic work with critical insights, information, and refinements he has learned over the decades, including:

• Step-by-step look at the process from start to finish
• Tested new ideas to streamline the building process
• New insights on stitch-and-glue building from the amateur’s perspective
• Additional materials and tools for expanding your building/finishing options
• Fresh ideas for constructing cabins and pilothouses
• More in-depth coverage of maintenance and repair
• Expanded appendix showing the range of stitch-and-glue boats

Whether you’re looking to build a seven-foot dinghy or a 50-foot motor cruiser, Devlin’s Boatbuilding Manual provides proven plans and expert advice to get the job done―and get it done well.

About the Author

Sam Devlin has been in love with boats since childhood. The boat building operation he started with his wife on a shoestring in 1977 has flourished, and Devlin Designing Boat Builders each year rolls out between 20 and 40 stitch-and-glue boats of various sizes from its shop on the shores of Puget Sound.
