Boatbuilding with Aluminium

Aluminium is light, economical, maintenance-free, nearly impervious to corrosion, less easily damaged and more easily repaired than other materials used in boatbuilding. Compared with wood, far fewer skills and specialised tools are needed, and high quality materials are more easily found. This book will teach you basic aluminium fabrication, welding and lofting, as well as more advanced aluminium-forming techniques and yacht construction, from forming panels using explosives to engine installations. There are 6 Appendices and a Glossary. HB 280pp BW photos, plans & diagrams
