This vintage book is a complete guide to designing and building model boats, with information on required tools and equipment, rigging, fitting engines, sailing, and many other related aspects. Profusely illustrated and highly accessible, this volume is ideal for those with little previous experience, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on model building.
