Boats to Go

24 Easy-to-Build Boats That Go Fast With Low Power

Thomas Firth Jones

Tom Jones is a latterday William Atkin. His boats are simple but elegant, like those achievable dreams that once beckoned from the pages of The Rudder or Mechanix Illustrated. The boats range from a flyweight tack-and-tape kayak to a 29-foot transatlantic trimaran, featuring a wide array of construction techniques.
