"This DVD is a really good "how to"
visual resource on the ins and outs of stitch and tape boat building.
Alec Jordan takes us step by step through the process right from understanding
the plans and choosing the materials to use to how to stitch and tape
neatly and without gluing yourself to the garage floor. Punctuating the
various stages of the process examples of home built projects and interviews
with the builders, are used making a well-balanced and informative resource."
Paul Fisher - Selway Fisher Design
"Several
of these chapters have excellent graphics to illustrate the important
points and I suspect Alec's careful explanation on aligning the loosely
tied hull will be consulted more than once..."
Pete Greenfield - Editor of Watercraft Magazine
"If
you've ever fancied building your own boat using plywood 'planks' and
epoxy resin, then you really need to watch this DVD
I particularly
liked the inspirational cameos between each main chapter where amateur
builders discuss their various projects."

Kavanagh- Practical Boat Owner
