I'm wondering a good book about strip plank. I'm looking for a book that inclued Epoxy technics.

Do you have any suggestions?

If possible, please inclued ISBN number, that make easier search.

unfortunately "Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction" is currently out of print, although rumors are another run will be printed this spring.

You can get a copy on Ebay for $25 or so, or look in used bookstores for a copy.

A guy in Georgia built a 40-something foot strip-planked sailboat in his backyard and put up a nice website about it. This was pretty recent -- the boat was launched a year or two ago. He described the whole process from drying his own wood to shopping for deck hardware. Unfortunately I lost the link, and I haven't been able to find it again. This is an entertaining and informative read for anyone interested in such a project. Does anyone have the link I'm thinking of?
