Devlin's Boat Building Manual: How to Build Your Boat the Stitch-and-Glue Way, Second Edition

The quick and cost-effective way to build the boat of your dreams

For nearly 30 years, Devlin’s Boatbuilding Manual has been walking backyard boat builders like you through the process of creating a beautiful, seaworthy vessel with your own hands.

• Step-by-step look at the process from start to finish
• Tested new ideas to streamline the building process
• New insights on stitch-and-glue building from the amateur’s perspective
• Additional materials and tools for expanding your building/finishing options
• Fresh ideas for constructing cabins and pilothouses
• More in-depth coverage of maintenance and repair
• Expanded appendix showing the range of stitch-and-glue boats
