Here is the very practical handbook designed specifically to be used as the boatshop assistant and written by the professional to meet all needs of the boat builders. The content of the volume covers the entire process of constructing wooden boats, from row-boats to the huge commercial and war ships.

The idea of the author was to help boat builders facing difficulties and various delays that usually result from the insufficient practical information. The book provides readers with the detailed info and tips supplemented with the numerous pictures addressing all stages of the building process. Such information will be of great use to the people engaged in planning the boat building process, with due consideration given to the sequence of the operations.

The nine sections of the book cover the plans and lofting, set up and construction of the flat-bottom, V-shaped-bottom, and round-bottom hulls, different construction methods, joining, spar making, plumping, installation works, finishing, as well as the tools normally used for construction. The approach used by the author make the understanding of the material easy even for the absolute beginners and this is one of the advantages.

Well, the title by Nigel Calder, who is also the author of the Instant Handbook of Boat Handling, Navigation, and Seamanship, is quite self-explanatory. This small yet very useful publication was released with the final intention to be used by people as a quick reference source - it is, in fact, the on-board guide to the basic symbols and notations that are used on the various nautical charts.

We all know that the nautical charts contain a huge amount of useful information but it is very important to know how to decipher them, otherwise the charts are next to useless pieces of paper. In order for the chart to get bewildering, a key is to be found to its symbology. This nice and helpful booklet was prepared by Nigel Calder, who is one of the most respected boating authors of today, and he did his best to help readers make sense the very complex system of graphic elements and signs used on the nautical charts.

We would definitely recommend this publication for practical use because it is so compact yet very rich with useful information. At the same time, it will be very good for people who are not intending to go to the sea and use it right now, but rather need some simple and small book to get familiarized with the nautical signs and graphs in order to be able to use the nautical charts when they are finally on board the vessel.
