The good word

 The good word 


 thought I should have a list of books referenced for the build.

1. boat building methods - peter cook 1971 - 2nd book store

2. Boat Building with Plywood by Glen L. Witt Naval Architect
- Purchased from https://www.boatdesigns.com/Boatbuilding-with-Plywood/productinfo/12%2D430/

3. 002-970 Wooden Boat Restoration & Repair WEST SYSTEM
- Online download free WEST System
4. The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction
- Online download free WEST System
5. Epoxy Basics - Russell Brown
6. Rolling to Perfection 2nd Edition - Russell Brown 
 
 
And probably more importantly a list of books that made me think this was possible. 
 
1. Johnathan Livingstone Seagull -  Richard Bach 1970 - my first audio book. Read too me and maybe my siblings by my Dad. I can not remember how old I was.  My take away was that you can do what love and you may die or you can do nothing and you will still die. 
Sorry Dad I have lost the dust jacket in the last 30 years but I still have your copy of the book. 

2. The Boat Who Wouldn't Float - Farley Mowat 1969 - Ceri Patrick my Welsh friend told me to read it.  He just brought a block of land in Newfoundland, ocean frontage. I hope to sail up to it one day.
 
 
 If you are interested in a better curated list of books on sailing it's self  Peter Kenyon #47 has a list I'm working on.
