OK, but that's it....
Nice little boat but very little little info in this book that cannot be found for free online. It is a basic boat without anything that would require someone to actually purchase the book (like I did) to build it. Many similar plans for basic boats such as this can be found for free online. It's not a bad reference book if you are truly a novice or collector, but...

This review is from: Traditional Boatbuilding Made Easy (Paperback)
woodworkers who admire wooden skiffs will enjoy the straight forward guidelines and procedures laid out by Richard Kolin. Ample diagrams and instructions lead you through the process of lapstrake construction of a 12 foot skiff that posesses satisfying curves and functional good looks that set it apart from other designs. The emphasis here is on wood planking with copper clenched nails rather than epoxy gluing and encapsulating techniques. The wood in wooden boatbuilding is emphasized. This is an excellent manual for a first time builder. The text is clean and focused, and behind it you feel assured there is a master boatbuilder with an even and sustained love of the craft. After construction of this little gem, you stand back and marvel at your floating furniture, amazed that it now has a life of its own. And you get further swept away in your romance with wood and wooden boats, realizing this is an activity that feeds your soul!
