Skiffs and Schooners

About this book

There have been so many books on boats and boatbuilding and good ones too by experts and some near experts that it may seem almost ostentatious for a person to write another. However being of an age whence I can look back on a good many years at just plain messing around with boats and on the experience acquired thereby you can never get enough experience at anything I feel the urge to put down some things connected with boats and their building. None of it is new; most of it is half forgotten; all of it can be useful. Best of all most of it is very simple.
