This little collection of designs will delight all those who like boats. They are all easy to make - some more than others - and the materials are easily obtained at little cost.

There is plenty of variety from the little balsa surfboards to the austere beauty of the clipper ship, a saucy galleon, a ketch and even an outrigger canoe. Suitable for beginners or the more experienced alike there is something here for everyone - from children to stressed executives to craft teachers looking for insperational school projects.
