LOFTING A BOAT — A STEP—BY—STEP MANUAL

This is one of the best volumes available today on the lofting. It will be of particular use for the people who are already in possession of the set of standard volumes on boat construction and are searching for the additional information about the lofting. First of all, we want to note that the authors of the book covered virtually all important aspects so there will be no need for any other books.

All explanations are very clear. According to the author, lofting itself is a sort of an art and even magic. Put simply, it is a process of making a series of the full-scale boat drawings allowing accurate and successful building at the yard or by you. One of the objectives of the volume was to encourage the readers to start lofting, and this can be done through setting the techniques applicable to all boats.

The size of the boat should not play the major role since the techniques and skills applies should be more or less same; only the sizes of the finished boats would differ. Go through all chapters of the book very carefully if you are really interested in boatbuilding. The information and instructions contained in the volume will help you when you finally decide to start the process – you will be prepared to conduct the proper lofting.
