How to Build a Motor Launch

Illustration

A simple and practical work in every detail, showing how to construct a launch hull suitable for use with any description of motor. Each step of the work is clearly and thoroughly explained, both by text and drawings, so that a man who has never seen a boat built will have no difficulty in understanding the process. The author, a self-taught boatbuilder, thoroughly comprehends what a novice does not know, and is, therefore, able to point out the hard places, and to show the amateur builder how to get over or around them. In the after part of the book are given the designs of several launches, from 18 to 50 feet in length. The whole is heavily illustrated, and is the most complete treatise on launch building yet published. Bound in cloth, size of page 9 x 12 inches. Large clearly-drawn plans.
