About this title

Synopsis

Master the fundamentals of wooden boat and ship building with practical, hands‑on methods that you can apply to real projects.

This edition presents a clear progression from basic concepts to detailed techniques, organized to help carpenters and woodworkers expand into boat construction with confidence. The content is grounded in practical operations and illustrated approaches that mirror shipyard practice.

This book guides you through core topics including layout, framing, planking, and finishing. You’ll see how general principles stay the same across vessel sizes and types, and you’ll learn to plan, cut, assemble, and finish with efficiency and safety in mind. It’s designed as a solid learning resource for hands‑on builders, shop students, and professional shipwrights alike.

Step‑by‑step workflows that move from moulds and lofting to building frames and setting planks.
Concrete examples of curving, beveling, and fitting timbers to create strong, true hulls.
Illustrated techniques for fastening, caulking, and finishing for durable results.
Insights into labor saving devices and practical shop processes used in wooden shipyards.

Ideal for readers who want a practical, classroom‑ready foundation in wooden boat and ship building and for those seeking to broaden their carpentry skills into marine construction.
