Year: 1986 Language: English Author: Harold Payson Genre: Instruments, Boatbuilding, Woodworking Publisher: International Marine Publishing Company Camden, Maine 04843 ISBN: 0-87742-222-2 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages + text layer Pages count: 52 Description: Sorpe years ago, downeast boatbuilder Harcfld H. Payson — known to associates, friends, and his wife as Dynamite — and Philip Bolger of Gloucester, Massachusetts — arguably the most innovative small-craft designer around — got their heads together and came up with a new and startling idea: Instant Boats. Bolger began designing a series of bdats that would require no lofting, no jigs, and no exotic tools, skills, or materials. Boats that would not require a great investment of time to cut out and button up. In short, boats for the inexperienced builder whose fundamental desire is to get out on the water. Payson, for his part, builds and thoroughly tests a prototype of each design to wring out every' bug before offering the plans for sale. The original fleet of six boats was described in Dynamite’s book Instant Boats. Thete followed Build the New Instant Boats, presenting eleven more designs, including three shapely and spritely “tack-and-tape” boats. The verdict is in: thousands of amateur builders, have found that the Instant Boats make enjoyable and manageable backyard or basement projects and offer just about the least expensive boating available anywhere. You need not be driven by lack of tools, materials, skills, or time to abandon in frustration a project you conceived in a spirit of pleasurable anticipation. Here is the Instant Catboat. Her easy grace and spirited performance belie her humble components. She is at home in fresh water or salt. Dynamite prefers she be built of marine plywood (sources for which are given), though exterior-grade is acceptable. With marine ply and a loft-made sail, her materials will cost about $1,000. Given her looks and performance, a better bargain is hard to imagine. She is more complex than the other Instant Boats, but nevertheless far simpler to build than most other boats her size. The set of large-scale plans that Dynamite sells mailorder for $35.00 can save eyestrain and time, but she can be built right from this book. Either way, your efforts will be amply rewarded.
