Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Combining both volumes of Colvin's masterwork on building boats from steel in one complete volume, this book offers the insights, experience, and mature thinking of a man who has been a merchant seaman, naval architect, yacht and shipbuilder, sailmaker, and consultant to shipbuilders and governments on matters of vessel design and construction.

Opinionated. Brash. Detailed, and interesting. All in a two volume set. This guy knows about aboats and the techniques needed to create them. He is the "GOD" of boat building, and he is also the leader in this field. After reading this book, I wanted to go and construct myself a small ocean liner. He is that good. OK, this book is great, whether or not you are building a barge, or an ocean sailing hull. He really does know his stuff. He comes from the "old school" and you can see it in his hull plans, and his treatment of the subject matter. These books are classics and they are worth every dime. I recommend them highly if you have serious dreams of the construction and creation of steel boat hulls.
Rated by buyers -
Tom Colvin has succeeded in explaining a highly technical subject in a way anyone can understand. This book is not an evenings read but a reference source that will be used countless times.
Everyone in the business of marine repair will find it priceless at some point or another.
Anyone considering building or purchasing a steel boat will appreciate the clear reasoning of what they are looking at and how it should be vs how it is without being beffuddled with sales hype.
