A boat is your home

Finely illustrated with nice drawings, the book is good both for amateur boatbuilders and professionals, and surely is based upon a long experience. Boats being narrow inside, space is to be exploited in the best way, while outer parts are to be fitted to resist to sea and sun. This book is really easy to understand and very useful even for wooden house buildes.

Cruisers Must Have!

Mate's profusely illustrated volume will help you fit out your blue water cruiser to suit your needs. Interspersed with his unique humor are plans for hundreds of projects from major to mundane. If you are building or refitting a sailing yacht, you must read this essential reference. If you've purchased a finished boat this book will help you fix the armchair-sailor design flaws too often present in modern craft. You need this book!
