Fiberglass Boat Building for Amateurs Paperback – June 1, 1982

This is probably the only book you will need to build your own boat using composite materials.Although the book was written in 1982, the information is still completely valid, and I say it after reading a dozen books on composite materials.The book is very easy to read, the instructions are really clear and easy to follow. In addition, it provides a lot of technical information: what to do, why to do it, pros and cons of construction alternatives, etc.I recommend it to anyone who is interested in building a boat, a caravan, or any other project with composite materials.

This is a very good book with excellent details and very easy to read.I recommend it to anyone interested in building their own boat for the first time, this book is an invaluable tool to own. The makers of this book also have a site with full plans for sale that you don't have to loft, fiber glass kits, fastening kits, they have forums and great technical support to help you along your built. There website for those of you who might be interested is the Glen-L dot com. In addition they have a gallery of boats that have been built by people like you and me with little or no experience of tools in general. They also have some additional books available that you might be able to purchase from amazon if you get the title from their site.Good luck and enjoy this book it is a must have for the amateurs!

excellent condition and full of useful facts for the newbies and seasoned builders, written in easy to understand language so even liberal voters can understand

I would like to see more projects. After reading I have a much better understanding how boats are constructed and the materials used.

Great
