How to Build the Catspaw Dinghy

Rating:
Summary: Great Reference for Traditional Boatbuilders
Review: This is an excellent reference for those who wish to build a sailing dinghy using traditional methods. However, it is somewhat dated. The book acts as though things like plywood and epoxy are not in existance. You'll have to go a long way to convince me that copper rivets are better than weatherprrof deck screws. Regardless, if you are trying to understand traditional methods of small craft construction, this book is a real time saver.
