    Who want to "pitch in"?

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

    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,

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