Book about structural design ?
Two books I would recommend are Elements of Boat Strength by David Gerr
and Principles of Yacht Design by Lars Larsson and Rolf Eliasson. Principles is by far the more complete and technical book but you better be strong on math and not "metrically challanged" like me. Elements is a bit more understandable and provides formulas in English and metric.

Or other regulations 'Lloyds ???) Thanks for using your time to answer. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

Hmm, serioulsy, if you really are mathematically challenged you should maybe stay away from structural engineering or any other engineering for that matter. Hmmmmm... Steve pulls up a chair... |
