This illustrated guidebook shows in superb detail how to construct a model toy yacht, and successfully sail it in shallow waters. With ample detail inclusive of materials guidance, measurements, and planning from conception to sailing, this guide excels as an introduction to building model boats. The yacht depicted is a small sailboat, with a classic elegance and simplicity that demonstrates the principal elements of nautical seaworthiness - a well-constructed and sealed hull, sails capable of carrying wind to propel the craft, and a precisely shaped and measured deck, beam and keel. At the beginning of this primer, the author explains that the finished craft described is the product of repeated experiments and refining of the yacht design and construction process. He only submitted this guide for publication once the finished yacht was deemed both sound and accessible to aspiring model makers. The step-by-step instructions are accompanied by over fifty sketches, many labeled with precise dimensions, to assist the reader in successfully building the yacht.
