A masterwork of practical maritime craftsmanship, Clinker Plywood Boatbuilding Manual instructs both aspiring and experienced boatbuilders in the traditional yet refined art of clinker-style construction using modern plywood materials. Iain Oughtred, a celebrated naval architect and designer of elegant small wooden craft, presents a comprehensive, step-by-step guide that details every stage of the building process, from lofting and setting up the mold to planking, fastenings, and finishing. Written with the calm authority of a seasoned craftsman, the manual illustrates how the time-honored lapstrake method can be successfully adapted to plywood, yielding boats of exceptional beauty, strength, and lightness. Oughtred includes a selection of his own boat designs suited to the technique, giving readers not only the skills but also the plans needed to complete a seaworthy vessel. This is an indispensable reference for the serious amateur builder and a deeply rewarding read for anyone captivated by the tradition of wooden boatbuilding.
