Издание на английском языке
The book is devoted to the construction of small vessels made of wood, emphasizing its durability and popularity, despite the availability of new materials. It provides recommendations on the choice of wood, focusing on important characteristics such as the straightness of the fibers and the absence of defects, which is critical to ensure seaworthiness. The moisture requirements of the wood for different parts of the vessel and the need to use protective equipment to prevent rotting, especially for ships at anchor, are also considered. The book serves as a practical guide for amateur builders seeking to create reliable and durable small vessels.
