Clinker built boats

[Doug]

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.

Vintageplans comes to mind ....

You might be able to trawl the archives of "wooden boat magazine" which is the bible of the enthusiasts.

Review comment "I'm a trainee shipwright and this book is a standard text for the course. It's very comprehensive and full of useful knowledge".

Thanks for the reply fella`s, most enlightening.

That book looks a good starting point Jacob, though perhaps an edition with legible pictures, cheers.

This blog of a boat build that I followed a year or so ago is good. (you have to start at the bottom and read the posts coming up the page to be in the right order)
