Obsessed Much?

This should be a good indicator of my obsession with boat crap. 95 percent of these have been read cover to cover, some many many times over.

if i can't mess about in a boat just yet, i can at least read about messing about in boats

Instant Boats

build the new instant boats

another payson/bolger boat building book

great book. has three different designs of proas and tacking outriggers. the wa'apa is gonna look a little odd on the lakes of sw missouri, but should be a blast to sail.

easy-peasy boats. i mean really easy, easier than the instant boats by bolger/payson.

might build one one day. i really like plain ol' working skiffs.

paper model - gloucester light dory

great book. really helped me understand traditional sails and how they work. gave me more confidence in changing up the sail plan on my current boat build.

good basic sailing instruction

great book. much thanks to john of wirral for the recommendation.

And I thought I was the only one to have read the Brendan Voyage. One of my favorites...

It was a pretty amazing thing they did and wrote about. I need to read about Severin's other historical reenactment journeys.
