How about some more book reviews?

Who want to "pitch in"?

Unfortunately I only have books already recommended on the website. Hmm why could that be?

I'd love to know what you think about "Sailing Yacht Design: Practice" and "Sailing Yacht Design: Theory" by Andrew Claughton (Editor), et al for example. They are very expensive but the "look inside" pages on amazon.com makes me intrested in them.

I'm also on the lookout for a comprehensive book about Composites and Pre pregs.

Erik

Erik,

Marine Composites by Eric Green is very good, also SP Technologies publishes a very useful handbook.
