Working Boats of Britain, Their Shape and Purpose
Click for larger image

 

Since its original publication in 1983, McKee’s study of boat types has become the classic reference work in its field. This highly original study of boat types is based on a lifetime’s personal research conducted around the coastline and rivers of England, Scotland and Wales. Although exhaustive in coverage, this book is much more than a descriptive catalogue of British small craft. The first part is an analysis of the factors which determine the shape of a boat, of how these factors operate and why designs vary so greatly. The second part is devoted to the techniques of boatbuilding and includes a survey of distribution patterns, which reveals some fascinating generalisations about the nature of small craft design.

Illustrated throughout with the author’s meticulously detailed line drawings, Working Boats has become a classic reference work, and one which no traditional sail enthusiast will want to be without.
