 Building Small Boats June 13, 2002
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This book has everything a person needs to build a small wooden boat from plans or kit. After building several small boats, and consulting other boatbuilding books, I always come back to this book for answers and techniques. Finally, I think Mr Rossel does the best job at explaining the process of spiling to obtain plank shape. Great book!

Great Primer on Traditional Boatbuilding October 30, 2001
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
This book should be called "Building Small Wooden Boats." The author sticks to traditional methods and materials and he's very good at explaining these. It's much more accessible than general boatbuilding manuals such as Steward and Chapelle, but more in depth than the usual how-to book. The drawings are very helpful and the text is clear, concise and well organized (though for some reason there's no index). There are some subjects I would have liked to see discussed in more detail, but overall a great boatbuilding book.

The best all around book on the subject. The author sticks to traditional methods and materials and he's very good at explaining these.

The drawings are very helpful and the text is clear, concise and well organized (though for some reason there's no index).

First time boatbuilders need this book. July 6, 2001
Covers it all with wit and wisdom. You will probably want other books as well, but this one is the best I have seen, with enough detail and breadth to take the mystery out of many of the processes required to build a boat.
