The quick andcost-effective way to build the boat of your dreams In this much-anticipated
Second Edition of the cutting-edge book on boat building pioneer Sam Devlin gives you the
plans and expert advice you need to apply his highly developed easy-to-use stitch-and-glue
technique to a wide variety of boats ranging in size from 7 to 55 feet. This new and expanded
edition of Devlin's Boat Building Manual features 200 photographs including an entirely new
section that follows the complete boat building process from start to finish. Boat building
enthusiasts will enjoy seeing the stitch-and-glue method applied to such larger vessels as
powerboats and sailboats and DIY hobbyists interested in building their first boat will find
more instruction than in the previous edition. This updated edition also features a revised
painting section coverage on the latest epoxies and resins and how to work with them and an
expanded design section showing the broad range of sizes and types of boats now buildable with
this technique.
