Re: Off Topic: feasibility of building a sailboat?
In Response To: Off Topic: feasibility of building a sailboat? (Doug Smith)
: I'm wondering what the feasibility is of building a large wooden sailboat?
: I'm talking something that is 30'+. Or is this something that is best left
: to fiberglass or metal hull? Are there any decent books on building larger
: sailboats? Perhaps I should be referring to a "sailing yacht"
: instead of sailboat.
: cheers
Oh yeah, go to WoodenBoat magazine for book lists. Lots of books about strip planking and cold molding, which is essentially what you're talking about. They have an extensive web site as well as a boat building forum.
