Elements of Boat Strength for Builders Designers and Owners
Scantlings are the sizes, shapes, materials and weights of the structural components of a boat. This is an easy-to-use reference for calculating reliable, practical and solid scantlings, whether in fibreglass, wood, wood-epoxy composite, steel or aluminium. Good and bad practice is discussed, example calculations are worked through for boats from 3 to 37 metres, and sections on boatbuilding materials, methods and practices will guide you through all aspects of boat construction for sail or power.
