Title: Anyone Can Build a Boat
Product review: The eleven boats described here can't really be called weekend projects for a beginner, and some of the building techniques are a little complex, but a careful reader should be able to build a working small boat within several weeks of weekends using only the plans in the book. A few pieces of plywood, glue, glass and resin and a ripped down 2x4 for trim is all that is required to be out on the water, well, next year. Plans cover the whole spectrum of small craft from a boxy dingy to an outboard skiff and even a tiny schooner. Most of these boats are strictly functional, although the first design, Gypsy, is a nice trim rowing or sailing dory. Payson does a good job of sharing his own love of small boats by describing some interesting points about woodworking and sailing.
