Start with a Hull
By Loris Goring

Many people dream of owning a boat but are deterred by the cost. Others enjoy modifying or rebuilding the interiors of old boats. This book, based on the author's 30 years' experience will be welcomed as a practical guide by anyone planning to build or modify a boat starting from an existing GRP hull.

Every aspect of the building project is covered, from basic concepts, planning, organization and building to the final polish on launching day. The problems likely to be encountered en route are discussed, as well as the reasons behind the decisions and compromises. In particular the book explains: What do you look for when buying a glassfibre hull? How do you calculate how much anti-fouling will be needed? What is the safest way to design and install ventilation in a boat? What are the best materials to use for fuel tanks? How do you design and install a WC holding tank system? What problems will you encounter when installing boat electrics? How do you design and fit a marine engine exhaust system? How should you fit a VHF radio?

Start with a Hull is packed with practical advice, and is a companion volume to the author's Marine Inboard Engines.
