First published in 1939 (with later editions in the 1950s), this book quickly established itself as a foundational text, bridging the gap between theoretical naval architecture and the practical realities of small boat design and building.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten for the amateur boat builder, this handbook is intended to cover all the problems commonly faced by those who attempt to build a boat of their own design, and will be of considerable value to anyone occupied in such an endeavour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSutton, an experienced designer and builder, provides a systematic and accessible study of the principles that govern how a small yacht is drawn up and ultimately constructed.
