DESCRIPTION:
Basic book Quite ok if you just want to know the basics of Metal Boat Building. If, for example you want to buy a finished metal boat. If you really want to build a boat yourself, consider Tom Colvins Steel Boats (if i'm remembering the title right).. a very basic book , which does not offer enough useful info. A Customer This book is for someone who wants to know a little about some of the basic things to look at on a boat. I did not find it to be a good value for the money and would not recommend it.. "Metal Boats" according to Zubillaga. You have to read this book if you are planning to buy or to build a steel or aluminun metal boal
-- Cruising World, June 1995. Scott takes the reader logically from the basics about material qualities and how to prevent problems like electrolysis, through the entire building process
He lives in Victoria, British Columbia. Scott had the hull custom built and then spent three years fitting it out himself. Since launching his boat, he has cruised more than 11,000 miles in the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic. During that time, he learned firsthand about the advantages of metal as a boatbuilding material, as well as the problems
This book explains how to use welding equipment, how to keep electrolysis and corrosion at bay, how to improve boat safety and comfort and how to decide which tasks you can tackle and which should be done professionally.. Intended not only for those who already own a boat, but also for those planning to buy a metal boat, complete a boat from a bare hull or build a completely new one themselves. A guide to metal boats covering sailboats and powerboats, both in aluminium and steel
