The idea of building your very own boat can be a little overwhelming to many people. Gavin did an excellent job at letting us know that we need to get rid of the idea that it is too hard. He lets the ready know that he/she really can build on of these little boats; and je is right (imo). You don't need to purchase this book just for the plans since the offsets are already offered on the internet free of charge. If you need some encouagement; though; or want to learn how to do each step of building these boats; get this book.It is a good book to read from cover to cover; but it can also be used as a reference that explains how to complete certain tasks. Gavin also does an excellent job at letting you know that your boat doesn't have to be a 'perfect' work of art or craftsmanship to be a fun project to both build; and to enjoy on the water.Yes; I recommend thos book to both those new to boat building; and those who have a little more experience. I believe the book offes something for both groups; and makes a person want to get out and build one of these little beauties.51 of 52 people found the following review helpful. Ultrasimple Boatbuilding ReviewBy Jay H. KammerzellThis book belongs on the shelf of anyone who is contemplating building their own boat. This book was a special treat for me because there is a picture of a boat I built in it. The prospect of building a boat can be very overwhelming. It is a process of figuring out your needs and then deciding on an appropriate design. This is followed by determining if you have the tools; money; space; skill; and time to see a project go from a pile of wood to a pleasant afternoon sailing on a local lake with your family. If you are like me you begin this process by reading as much as you possibly can prior to actually creating sawdust. Gavin Atkin's book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the "how" to build a boat. Although you may supplement this information with additional material from other sources; Atkin gives enough practical information to actually build a boat. Atkin makes building a boat for someone who has never done it seem very doable; even fun. The second part of the book is filled with designs to whet the appetite of anyone whois in the process of trying to decide what would would be the right boat for them. Mr. Atkin includes complete plans for seventeen of his own designs; all very doable; plus he reviews designs done by other popular designers. My boat recently succumbed to dry rot and was hauled to the dump. I am now in the process of deciding which is the "right" boat to build and Gavin Atkin's book; "Ultrasimple Boatbuilding"; has renewed my interest in building my own boat again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
