Editorial Reviews
Review
``The clear, non-technical language, logical development of the subject, and the scope of the publication make Understanding Boat Design a success.'' (Naval Engineers Journal )

``This tight little book should be required reading.'' (Soundings )

``Brewer provides as good a basic introduction to small craft design as you could ever hope to find. If more people read this book before buying a boat, they'd likely make a much better choice and be a lot happier.'' (The Ensign )

``One of the cleanest and clearest expositions on the elements of yacht design ever published.--By a naval architect who knows what he is talking about.'' (WoodenBoat )

The Ensign
"Brewer provides as good a basic introduction to small craft design as you could ever hope to find. If more people read this book before buying a boat, they'd likely make a much better choice and be a lot happier."
