"John Teale makes boat designing fun... Thoroughly recommended." MotorBoating & Sailing
John Teale takes the reader step-by-step through the stages of designing both power and sailing boats, while also explaining the reasons behind the process. Sketches and reproductions of working drawings are used throughout to help understanding so that by the end of the book even a first time designer's effort can be translated by a builder into a sensible and workmanlike reality.Since this book was first published it has proved itself a bestseller. This second edition simplifies several calculations and introduces new designs.
