5.0 out of 5 stars
should be called "A Book of Dreams"
If there's nothing so worth doing as messing about on boats, looking at a book of study plans surely comes in near the top. WoodenBoats has compiled a(nother) set of intriguing drawings and lines which have me turning page after page, thinking about the possibilities for building my own boat.

Not really worth it.
Unfortunately, with the advent of the interweb / internet, this book is rather obsolete, I would have returned it but would rather keep it than pay the postage back.

If there's nothing so worth doing as messing about on boats, looking at a book of study plans surely comes in near the top. WoodenBoats has compiled a(nother) set of intriguing drawings and lines which have me turning page after page, thinking about the possibilities for building my own boat.

The only problem is that forty boats isn't enough

Another fine selection of boat porn! This is a great resource for boat design enthusiasts and those who dream of the next boat building project (just as soon as I finish my current one). The selection of vessels is wide and includes power, paddle, stroke and sail. This one makes a fine companion to the other two editions published by Wooden Boat.
