 Hard for a non-woodworker June 19, 2008
Very good book for the introduction of wooden boat building, but if you're not already a woodworker there are too many terms that is hard to understand with out constantly flipping back and forth to the glossary.

 Pleasant Experience February 10, 2008
I am very satisfied with the book, it has provided all the information I was in need of. I would not hesitate to buy additional offerings by the author and to use Amazon as my purchasing avenue.
All you need is this book to build a boat. December 21, 2007
If you want to learn how to build a boat, you need this book. Also, I would suggest getting copies of Paysons earlier books too. There are different plans in the different books. And great info in all his books.
And yes, I have built 3 of his boats so far.
Down to earth boatbuilding for starters August 11, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Although I enjoy so much woodworking, my mayor motivation to buy a boatbuilder's book was to go sailing in a budget. This is not my first try, but it is the most down to earth for a curious do-it-yourselfer. Others told me to use mahogany plywood, full epoxy and fiberglass covering to obtain a 10 footer with just $700. I can buy a fine second hand boat for less than that!
Payson says hat I can build a boat that I can be proud of with some reasonably cheap plywood and polyesther and go sailing for a reasonable $200 or even less. And he's right! I am halfway to my boat in just 20 hours or so and can not be more satisfied.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to try his skills at woodworking and go sailing in a budget. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that the plans are too small and I had to put some working to scale then properly. But the results pretty much are worth the effort.

Another great book from Harold Payson. It's down to earth and easily followed format is inspiring and makes you want to go out and build another of these wounderfully created boats.
A book you must have in your library alongside the other greats.
