The three pillars of Culler’s design philosophy were simplicity, economy, and ease of use. He believed designs based on the working craft of the past could fulfill the needs of the present, and do so with style, while recognizing that many of these boat types could be cumbersome as required by the trade that spawned them. Every design Pete Culler ever put on paper, more than 100 in all, is here, including designs for outboard workboats, a double-paddle canoe, a scow schooner, fast launches, a 26-foot tugboat, a Tancook whaler, sampans, sharpies, schooners, and more. Originally published in 1984, WoodenBoat is pleased to bring this long-dormant book back to life.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A catalog of Pete Culler's designs,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pete Culler's Boats: The Complete Design Catalog (Hardcover)
This book is exactly what it is decribed as: A catalog of Cullers designs. Not much more but nothing less. It is a beautiful hardback book good for browsing through and useful to leave under a centre table to look good for a sporadic visitor to browse through. It is not a book I would refer back to except to choose a Culler design for which to buy the plans. I do not believe there is enough information on any of the designs to build straight from the book, although this is usually the intention in a book of this type.I don't rate 5 stars because I found the book slightly difficult to follow and therefore difficult to learn from.
