Customer Reviews

A joy

To who ever desires or dreams of building this is a valuable eye opener of what has been drawn over the years. Some difficult some relatively easy. But all worth studying for the efforts the designers made to come up with some beautiful ships. It is not a complete list but a very varied selection and will be able to allow some one to focus on what one find more appealing.

A bountiful book of beautiful boats

A wonderful compendium of study plans for wooden boats. The full construction plans can be purchased separately and in various places, depending on the plan set.

good book

This is a great book for anyone wanting to build a wooden boat. You can go over 40 different designs and then purchase the plans for the one you wish to build.

Fifty wooden boats

Fifty Wooden Boats is an exceptional example of well-written, informative and still inspiring cataloque of fifty classical wooden boat designs. I can truly recommend it to anyone planning to build a wooden boat of his/her own. Especially here in Europe the classical plans have - to a great degree - vanished. This is a good cataloque for some of the classical designs. Hopefully we will get similar books of the wooden boats of the old continent, too!
