Customer Rating:
Summary: A rare opportunity to look over the shoulder of a master craftsman
Comment: If you are even just thinking about building a sailboat in the traditional frame and planking method than this is the book for you. Every step of constructing the hull and deck is detailed with excellent photos and very descriptive text.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great pictorial guide to boatbuilding!
Comment: I enjoy reading what the Pardey's write and this is no exception - lots to glean from this book! Great book to fire up the potential / beginner boatbuilder's imagination and desire!

Summary: Very helpful.
Comment: With this book in addition to Chapelle's and Stewart's books, I am beginning to grasp round bottom traditional wood construction.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Its a classic!
Comment: Its a great book if your want to build wooden boats in the most traditional way or with an archaic manner. Most wooden boat builders today can cut time by using modern equipment and techniques which is not described in this book. Its a good reference book and it includes a topic on the author's experience using modern epoxies and it contains Herreshoff rules/guidelines which every classic boatbuilder enthusiast might find informative. It will also describe you the events that you will go through if you're building a cruising boat. This book is not for the beginner for the terminology used will confuse them. In my opinion, if you would want to build a classic wooden boat I suggest you go through a weekend workshop (for the curious) or an apprenticeship (for a career) then buy this book to supplement what you've learned. Like the author said, "There is no such thing as a comprehensive book on any type of boat building." Your best chance to build your own dream boat is to get out there, learn from others, and supplement what you've learned with this book!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Hard Core
Comment: I have read at least 5 (maybe more) books on home boat building. Where this book does a superior job is in its prolific use of photographs to demonstrate the steps discussed in the text. Pardey's is a good book but a bit on the "HARD CORE" side. For instance how many "one-off" builders are going to go to the trouble of forging our own magnesium alloy floor brackets? If you are serious about building your own boat I'd still recommend reading this book but it should not be the first you read. In my opinion, Pardey's book is not intended for the rank armature. In fact you have to be fairly familiar with, carpentry, boats, and boat building terminology in order to follow the book at all. I still encountered JARGON that was unfamiliar to me. If I were the editor of this book I'd recommend a comprehensive GLOSSARY OF TERMS be added at the end of the book. That one addition would greatly increase the utility of this book.
