To who ever desires or dreams of building this is a valuable eye opener of what has been drawn over the years.
Some difficult some relatively easy. But all worth studying for the efforts the designers made to come up with some beautiful ships.
It is not a complete list but a very varied selection and will be able to allow some one to focus on what one find more appealing.

This book is great for people that would like to build a sail boat. of the 50 designs in the book 90% of them are sailboats. Also the book itself does not contain any building plans whatsoever. It’s a product catalogue for Wooden Boat. So if you want to pay for their catalog go ahead. I bought this looking for some simple boat plans that I could build with the kids on the weekend. I received a catalog for the plans. if I want to build one of them I have to pay for the plans. So all I received was a product catalog. Do not waste your money on this just go to their website ( http://www.woodenboatstore.com/ ) to get the same information.

This is a great book for anyone wanting to build a wooden boat. You can go over 40 different designs and then purchase the plans for the one you wish to build.

This is simply a catalog of plans you can buy. I wouldn’t pay for a Sears catalog of things to buy. It also has a list of related articles in Woodenboat magazine that can be ordered.
I am looking for imformation on how to build a boat, not looking to buy a book on where to buy imformation on how to build a boat.

A wonderful compendium of study plans for wooden boats. The full construction plans can be purchased separately and in various places, depending on the plan set.
