## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Master boat designer biography
*by W***L on May 18, 2010*

This book is a biography of Iain and I couldn't put it down. I have just finished building my first wooden boat- a Wee Rob. Maybe I have a particular affinity formed by the long hours in the shed at night placing my trust in Iain's plans. For me this book was a great way to cap off my project. I found the small study plans useful to understand Iain's other boat designs, and also his naming system.I have heard said of this book " it's not just the ply that's tortured" and that, I'm afraid is the essence of Iain.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulas Classic Boats
*by H***Z on July 15, 2014*

A magnificent book for anyone who appreciates Iain Oughtred's designs, this book provides one with great insight to the man, his life's work and the boats he has created. Highly recommended

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book
*by J***S on January 21, 2014*

My husband has purchased plans to build one of Mr. Oughtred's boats. This book added personality to the endeavor and a bit of magic.
