I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some good quality information, in whatever form, about the construction of clinker built boats.
A google search wasn`t that revealing & as i don`t know much about the subject i wouldn`t know good advice from bad.
Thanks.

Re: Clinker built boats
You might be able to trawl the archives of "wooden boat magazine" which is the bible of the enthusiasts.

Thanks for the reply fella`s, most enlightening.
That book looks a good starting point Jacob, though perhaps an edition with legible pictures, cheers.
