MODULE 4 – Ship joining, assembly and caulking

What will be discussed in this module was prepared as part of the All Hands On Deck (AHOD) project, action IO2A3. The content of the handbook is the absolute minimum of sailing knowledge necessary to build a small boat in workshop conditions. This piece of information should be learned by every boating hobbyist. This is also what every enthusiast of this sport should know to understand roughly the principles of the construction of sailing boats. Every sailing enthusiast should improve their skills, looking for the best technique to build their dream boat. This can be learned in two ways: either through painstaking practice or from public experience. The following chapters are intended for those who prefer to gain reliable knowledge over aversion to the written word.
