Practical small boat designs

Atkin, John 1918- (Author).

Summary: "You'll find 28 practical and buildable small boats, from a 6'6" cold-molded round-bottomed pram to a 26' flat-bottomed shoal-draft sloop. You can study the plans for several flat-bottomed rowing and sailing boats, a 20' utility powerboat, and a 22' schooner. Most of the designs have been chosen for their simplicity and make excellent projects for amateur builders."--Page 4 of cover.
