## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This book is well illustrated but is not as easy to understand as others I've read
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 10, 2017*

This book is well illustrated but is not as easy to understand as others I've read. It could be that when I read it I had a cold and my concentration was distracted. It has plenty of pics tho. He modifies tools to make these boats and learning these techniques is worth buying the book.

    Helpful details on planking
  

*by N***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 16, 2011*

Covers many of the same material as Iain Oughtred's "Clinker Plywood Boatbuilding Manual" and Paul Fisher's "Manual of Clinker Plywood Boat Construction". Hill provides good details on planking and on developing the transom when lofting. The strength of the book is in the use of ribbands for spiling and beveling the strakes. Also good on cutting gains. Of the three books, Oughtred's was the most helpful. I am a novice at boatbuilding but somewhat accomplished at general cabinetry woodworking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very practical mentoring from someone who has built up great expertise by building lots of boats
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2014*

Very practical mentoring from someone who has built up great expertise by building lots of boats, with great observation and care about what works the best. Particularly liked his comments on why a clinker-built ply hull is so good structurally (as well as looking gorgeous).  And no, I didn't expect to be hand-fed on who are the best people to buy materials from in 2014.  Probably wouldn't help much in Australia anyway.
