The guidebook that launched a thousand boats. Probably many more. One of the most concise guides ever written to take the amateur boatbuilder through every step of the design and building process. Not a scan of the original, but newly edited for better graphics and readability. Originally written by Adrian Neison, Practical Boat Building for Amateurs was later revised by famed designer Dixon Kemp.

Supercargo, trader, beachcomber, and perhaps pirate, Louis Becke knew the South Seas of the late 19th Century like few others. His second book's stories range across the South Seas from the Marshalls to lonely Pitcairn Island on the other. They tell, as he once said, "of those restless wanderers who range the Pacific in search of the fortune they always mean to gain, but which never comes to them, except in some few instances." Not for the faint of heart, but these tales illuminate the desperately cruel clash of colonialism and native tradition.
