A practical introduction to strip-planked small-boat construction
Nick Schade’s guide centers on strip-planking as a hands-on method for amateur boatbuilding. It moves from the essentials—materials, tools, and safety considerations—to complete, step-by-step plans for three distinct small craft: a canoe, a kayak, and a dinghy. Using several boat types gives the technique a broader frame than a single-project manual, while the included plans keep the emphasis on making a finished vessel. The book is organized as both an introduction to the construction method and a project guide for builders working through the process themselves.

The first comprehensive book on stripbuilding almost any type of small boat
Strip-planking is a popular method of amateur boat construction, but until now there has never been a book that showed how to use it for more than one type of boat. Author Nick Schade presents complete plans for three boats of different types (canoe, kayak, and a dinghy) and shows you step-by-step how to build them. Written for all amateur builders, the book covers materials, tools, and safety issues.
