 | It’s generally agreed that cold-molded construction is the best method for the amateur or independent professional interested in building a full-size cruising sail or power boat. A truly appropriate technology, cold molding combines the beauty of wood with the low-maintenance characteristics exceeding those of fiberglass. The New Cold-Molded Boatbuilding is the complete, soup-to-nuts presentation of process, with chapters detailing every facet of construction from choosing a design and setting up, through engine installation and wiring, to launching a design and performing sea trials. In addition, the author has streamlined the cold-molded process considerably, producing boats that are more economical, efficient, and sturdy–Boats built from native materials that will last the life of the builder and turn heads in harbours around the world.

 | Reuel Parker’s newest book, THE VOYAGES OF FISHERS HORNPIPE, is now available. The new book, in the works for decades, is about building Capt. Parker’s first cruising sailboat on a California beach in the mid-1970’s, and sailing her 35,000 miles to twenty foreign countries. There is lots of information on building, planning, provisioning, finding crew (and love), navigation, learning the ropes of international travel, coping with storms at sea, and many anecdotes and revelations about life under sail. Two-hundred-sixty-two pages, with hundreds of charts and color photographs. We had to publish this ourselves, as McGraw-Hill would not touch a book with pictures of naked sailors! THE VOYAGES is a frank, pragmatic exposition of life on the water–if nothing else, it will give the reader a splendid arm-chair cruise, from the communes of California in the 70’s, through the Panama Canal to rarely-visited destinations like Columbia, Haiti and Grenada while it was a socialist nation, to coping with a family in New York which could never endorse the cruising life. LARGE FORMAT BOOK (8.5″ X 11″). Author: Reuel B. Parker Price: $50 including mailing by media mail; Overseas please add $40–press PayPal Overseas Shipping button)
