Synopsis
Excerpt from Small Boat Building
Even for the simplest boat, drawings showing the dimensions and form of hull and the general arrangement are required. Construction plans, showing the arrangement and sizes of all parts, are also desirable but not absolutely necessary for small boats. However, unless the amateur is familiar with such things, he should obtain this information from the designer or a practical builder. Plans may be obtained from a designer or taken from some magazine, if published for that purpose.
