Small Ships

About this book

Containing scores of study plans for tugs freighters ferries excursion boats trawler yachts houseboats and fishing vessels this latest volume of ideas is thoroughly revised updated and expanded with a tremendous variety of styles and types of small ships. Each design is a salty and practical cruising vessel and is introduced with a brief description of its creation and history and accompanied by layout drawings and/or photos. Many of the designs trace their origins to working vessels and heritage powerboats and all have a refreshing frankness about them absent of any tricky styling glitter or glitz.
