Sobre IBD

This vintage volume is revered as a comprehensive and highly detailed manual for the professional and ambitious amateur seeking to understand or undertake the building of a wood sailing or auxiliary yacht. A detailed guide to designing, building, and maintaining a yacht, with information on everything from deck planking to installing skylights.

Watts provides an exhaustive, systematic guide, moving far beyond simple hobby construction to detail the heavy-duty techniques and precision required for building durable, seaworthy cruising vessels. It is an invaluable snapshot of the traditional craft before the widespread adoption of fiberglass.

Contents include:

  • Lead Keep
  • Keel and False Keel
  • Stem and Apron
  • Stern Post and Deadwood
  • Horn Timbers
  • Rudder
  • Frames and Timbers

  • Knees and Pillars
  • Bottom Planking
  • Deck Planking
  • Bulwarks, Main Rail, Knightheads
  • Fastenings
  • Skylights and Companions

This is an essential classic text for boat builders, wooden boat restorers, marine historians, and passionate yacht owners dedicated to the craft and tradition of wooden yacht construction.
