5.0 out of 5 stars Fantistic help for amateur boat builder, 12 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Excellent book for the experienced and beginner boat builder. Readable plans and text. The homely style makes you feel that HH Payson is watching over your shoulder. Lots of pictures, (Black & white only), and first class drawings make the process clear and support the explanations in the text. Building the Gypsy is dealt with in detail and the principles hold for the rest of the boats in the book. As a teacher I have built 2 boats this year based on the principles found in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Payson makes it easy., 8 Jan 2003
By Mr J D Higgs (Flitwick, Bedfordshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book does a lot to dispell the mystic of boat building, and makes even the beginner in the boat building scene feel confident to have a go. I will soon be embarking on the 'Gypsy' boat from this book, which is low cost and very pretty. The writing style of Payson is frank and straight talking, leaving little to ambiguity or confusion. If you are thinking of building a small (or larger) boat, I strongly recommend you read this book first, even if you do not build anything from it, a valuable source of information on how things can be done. This book contains plans exclusivley by American naval architect Phil Bolger, his no nonsense designs have clear purpose, and fulfill the design brief exactly.
