Description
The author is an acclaimed technical author and naval architect; he has created this unique system of easy-to-use scantling rules and rules-of-thumb for calculating the necessary dimensions, or scantlings, of hulls, decks and other boat parts, whether built of fibreglass, wood, wood-epoxy composite, steel or aluminium.
In addition to the rules themselves this book offers their context: and in depth, plain-English descriptions of boatbuilding materials, methods and practices that will guide the user through all aspects of boat construction.
This book has all of the formulas, tables, illustrations and charts needed to judge how heavy each piece of the boat needs to be to last long and voyage safely.
