New to Boat Building. I need guidance.

[mackenzie447]

I am new to boat building and would like to know of some good books or preferably pdf books that I can download. I have built a 17 foot cedar strip canoe but would ultimately like to build a 60 ft trimaran that could cruise at 12 knots or better. I have a long ways to go before I can build something like that. But I need some reading material to soak up. Thanks in advance
