Description
The keel, stem and frames are the very core of wooden boat construction - the elements that provide shape and strength to the structure, just like the joists and rafters in a building. If they are strong, the structure will be strong. If not, they must be repaired. This book provides practical advice from experts who have done the work themselves. They share their knowledge by taking the reader through specific projects and describing the step-by-step procedures so the reader knows what, how and why they did it.
