Aries,
I recommend: "Boatbuilding With Plywood", by Glen L. Witt, Naval Architect, the enlarged 3rd edition. It is published by Glen-L Marine Designs. Mine has a 1989 copyright. Greg Luckett |

Several other people here have built MiniCups and have good advice. Before you start, I strongly reccomend that you use either 3/16 marine ply or the 1/4" bathroom underlayment for decking, sides and bulkheads and 1/4 marine ply for bottoms. Use epoxy glue. remove the N for my proper e-mail address. I'd really like to hear from other MiniCup builders. David OHara |
I would recommend "Boat-Building for Beginners and Beyond" by Jim Michalak
The MiniCup is a fun little boat. A couple of people - including me - who post here have built one. -- Andrew Butchart "Aries" wrote in message om... Hi! Do you know good book on ply boat building?
