This review is from: How to Build the Shellback Dinghy (Paperback)
If you have never built a boat and are afraid to get in over your head, this "How To" book offers the perfect beginner's project. The 11' 6" Shellback Dinghy is a great boat for kids or adults who want to get out and do some exploring or fishing in protected waters--good for rowing and sailing.

This review is from: How to Build the Shellback Dinghy (Paperback)
I was under the impression that the boat in this book could be built from this book. Wrong! You need to purchase a set of plans or buy a kit.Had I known this, I would not have made this purchase. I already know how to use the tools and have built several boats. I found little of interest in this book and do not recommend it at all.
