Description
Building and sailing your own model steam launch requires a broad range of skills and knowledge. This comprehensive guide covers all aspects of boat design, from engine performance to hull design, and provides detailed plans for three different models: a simple screw-driven launch, a fast patrol boat, and a twin cylinder paddle steamer.
With this book, you'll learn about the technical information and theoretical calculations that underpin boat design, as well as the practical skills needed to bring your model to life. From machining and silver-soldering to woodwork and finishing, all the required techniques are explained in full.
Whether you're a seasoned model maker or just starting out, this book provides everything you need to create a live steam model boat that's both functional and beautiful.
