We picked up a book from a boatbuilder's library and it is a gem, How To Build a Skipjack, from an article published in The Rudder back in 1898. The article was so popular that The Rudder reprinted it in its own special hardback edition in 1901.
The book has been very helpful with instructions on how to layout the building forms and the backbone, we will use some of the ideas when we set up the jig and keel for our catboat.
So if you need to build a small skipjack, give us a holler!
Cheers
Clark and Skipper
