From Baird Maritime:
The book's sub-title best describes its content. That is:"Simple scantling-rule calculations for strong, durable hulls, decks and otherstructural parts made from fibreglass, wood, wood/epoxy, steel and aluminium".
Given the ever-increasing amount of bad publicity recentlyconcerning the tragic structural failure of small workboats and yachts, ownersof such vessels really need to be assured of their strength and seaworthiness.
Given, further, the ever increasing litigiousness ofAnglo-Saxon society at least, designers and builders also need to be absolutelycertain of the safety of their creations. The recent sentencing to a prisonterm of the builder of a failed yacht in Australia is thought provoking, to putit mildly.
This is, therefore, a vital book for all concerned.
