1.0 out of 5 stars A true mistake for the serious boatbuilder, 6 Oct 2003
I’m trying to build my first boat with plywood. This book doesn't contain any information about plywood and the construction techniques. It is in fact a book about the life of the author and his wife. A good book for those who seek life stories related to boats, but completely irrelevant for someone who really wants to build a boat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Boatbuilder Talks Shop, 18 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I had read Jones's previous book, BOATS TO GO, and liked it. I liked NEW PLYWOOD BOATS, too. Jones has a nice writing style, and the boats he discusses are also nice. There are both sailboats and powerboats built with various techniques, mostly plywood. Several are multihulls, which Jones obviously likes.
At the end of the book, there is an interesting 'appreciation' of Phil Bolger, whom Jones knows personally.
