Lofting a Boat

Lofting a Boat is a practical step-by-step manual guiding amateur builders through the essential – and often daunting – process of lofting. As the second title in the Classic Boat series, it’s tailored for traditional boat enthusiasts and anyone undertaking a DIY build.

Lofting is the critical stage that bridges design and construction – transforming plans into full-sized templates for building. This book demystifies the process through clear explanations and a wealth of detailed diagrams, helping readers visualise each step and avoid common pitfalls.

Whether you're building a powerboat or sailing yacht, the illustrated approach ensures you can lay accurate lines, no matter the scale. A reliable reference for anyone determined to build a boat from scratch.
