I'm thinking of buying one, it seems well regarded and is apparently *the* book when it comes to epoxy/ply construction. But it's quite expensive so I'd appreciate some opinions before investing. Is it as good as the hype?

I'm looking for a good book that covers boat construction with a plywood hull, both to understand my Eventide better and methods of working with epoxy.

Okay, so first off I should say that I'm not an experienced yachtsman, though I have had the odd run-in now and again (I competed in a leg of the 1996 Cutty Sark race), which is pretty much the basis for my posting here. Basically I'm looking for suggestions and/or opinions.

To give you some background, I'm currently in the process of completing my first novel (the culmination of 5 long years) and am struggling despite much research to successfully convey a stormy voyage aboard a Bermuda sloop. So hopefully here's where you all might be able to help. I'd like to know what, as experienced sailors, you'd like/expect of a piece of fiction containing the above. What kind of technicalities/terminology would you consider fundamental to an effective, and more importantly, believable description? ]]> The Book Club Petrimov http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=219269 http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=218811&goto=newpost Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:42:29 GMT Just the ticket for the week after lift out!
