Description

The Sharpie Book explores the evolution and design of the sharpie, a long, narrow craft that emerged in the 19th century as an oyster fisherman's boat. From its humble beginnings to modern plywood-and-epoxy designs, this comprehensive guide provides instructions for building sharpies of all types and sizes.

Featuring more than a dozen designs and plans from renowned builders, including Chapelle, Kunhardt, Munroe, Boiger, Clapham, Kirby, and the author, The Sharpie Book is an invaluable resource for backyard boatbuilders. With its emphasis on ease, affordability, and speed of construction, it's no wonder that the sharpie has gained a cultlike following among enthusiasts.
