Build The NEW Instant Boats
by Harold H. (Dynamite) Payson
1 pdf
Following on the Instant Success of Instant Boats (published in 1979), Dynamite Payson has written Build the New Instant Boats, published in 1984. Dynamite has added to his Instant Boat fleet so you can add to yours. Supplementing the 6 designs in the first book is a whole new genera. tion of 11 plywood boats with even more variety: 11 hassle-free new designs that you can build in a week's time from precomputed plans. No lofting, no moulds, no building jig&emdash;no sweat. For 3 of the 11 boats, Dynamite here introduces a superb building technique: Tack and Tape. A variation on the theme of stitch-and-glue or sewn-seam construction, the Tack-and-Tape system uses polyester resin, nails, and fiberglass tape to allow you to create craft with lively sheers and shapely hulls. The technique is, above all, very forgiving&emdash;a minor glitch here or there miraculously vanishes under the camouflage of glue and tape. So that you can easily follow his procedure, Dynamite shows you how to build, by the Tack and Tape method, Gypsy, a 16-foot rowing and sailing craft, Nymph, a 7-foot 9-inch "mind boggler"; and Diablo, an outboard-powered workboat. The other 8 designs in the book's collection are: the Lug-Rigged Windsprint; Tortoise, the Ugly Duckling; Skimmer, the Poor Man's Whaler; the Dynamite Sailboard; a Workhorse called June Bug; the Handy 10 1/2 foot Pointy Skiff; the PedalDriven Sidewheeler; and the 23 1/2 foot Light Schooner.In addition, there are appendixes on quartersawing lumber, scarfing plywood, and learning to sail. Everyone aspires to be a craftsman, but&emdash;to be realistic&emdash;everyone isn't. This is where Instant Boats come in, and where they help convert boatbuilding dreams to reality. Ask anyone who has built one of the first generation of Instant Boats. Their satisfaction is proof that to build an Instant Boat interest is crucial&emdash;but professional boatbuilding skill is not.
