"Volume 2, about fitting out and finishing the boat, is much more wide-ranging since many of the components Alec explains how to make and fit are applicable to many different small boats, as are the interviews with other experts on small boat fittings, how sails are made and sea safety.....Recommended - and I really didn't have to say that."
Pete Greenfield - Watercraft Magazine

"Although based on our stitch and tape 10'6" Northumbrian Coble, this DVD is helpful to those fitting out and finishing boats of most methods of construction."
