About this Item

By following the authors instructions, and backed up by many sketches and diagrams, the enthusiast will find that he too can singlehandedly, or with help, build, fit-out and launch a boat as sound and seaworthy, and far bigger, than any vessel he could afford to buy from a boat builder. The hard covers are lightly faded down the spine. A good, clean and tight copy.

About the Author

Ian Nicolson joined Alfred Mylne the Second as a full design partner at the age of 31. These two very different personalities worked together for 20 years to produce a variety of craft. At the same time, Nicolson set up a boat survey organisation which became the most successful in Scotland, so that he went all over the world doing surveys. Ian has had 23 books published and many hundreds of technical articles. He has had his own magazine column since 1955.
