This manual has been rewritten and updated for 2025.

It now includes DIY Plans to build a boat in both methods.​

​

Describing both types of build method in as much detail as we can without (we hope) making it boring.

​

As well as information on the build methods, there is also sections on

Not forgetting the plans included with them.
