Aimed at the novice looking to either build or restore a traditional boat, this book takes a uniquely modern approach by using up-to-date techniques and methods throughout.
Jean-François Garry and his wife Martine run a traditional boatyard and chandlery in Fouras, France, through which they sell plans and kits for boats that are particularly popular with amateur boatbuilders.
‘A good affordable introduction to the subject for amateur
builders, students of boatbuilding and even model-makers. Well
illustrated, and focusing on modern methods and techniques - unique
among such books. Very attractive.'
