Product Description

A practical guide to the main considerations in building yachts and other small craft. It explores how materials behave structurally, how structures resist loads, how failure is likely to occur, and how materials can be put together to create boats. The author's stated intention is to provide a thinking approach to boat construction. Case studies are given, a comprehensive glossary provides definitions of terms, and calculations are separated from the main text so that the book can be read with or without amplification.
