This is a practical guide for designers and boatbuilders of aluminium alloy boats. The author highlights the advantages of building in aluminium - the weight savings, inherent strength and minimal maintenance involved - as well as explaining the limitations that should be recognised in comparison with other materials. The machinery, tools, techniques and skills required for building in aluminium are detailed, along with setting-up procedures, painting, and dealing with corrosion and repairs to hulls. A new chapter has been added by John Walker on raceboats and one by Tony Marchant on design factors.
