If you're an admirer of traditional boat design-and if your idea of a good boat is a practical boat-you'll find an astounding windfall of designs in this book. The pillars of Pete Culler's design philosophy were simplicity, economy, and ease of use. He believed that designs based on the working craft of the past could fulfill today's boating needs-and do so with style-while recognizing that many of these boat types could be cumbersome, even burdensome, as required by the trade that spawned them. In the words of author John Burke, "Captain Pete's lasting contribution lay in his ability to refine and enhance these workboats for today's pleasure uses, without losing their appealing qualities." Pete Culler worked in a shop, not an office. He built boats, as well as designed them. His "career" as a boat designer was relatively short-the bulk of his design work was done in the 1960s and 1970s. Every design he ever put on paper-more than 100 in all-is included in this book. The boats range from the "Good Little Skiffs" to the sturdy, ill-fated schooners Integrity and John F. Leavitt. They include a wheelbarrow skiff, a fast gig, outboard workboats, a sharp wherry, a double-paddle canoe, a V-bottomed yawlboat, a Sharptown barge, a scow schooner, fast launches, a 26-foot tugboat, a dogbody, a Tancook whaler, a Baltimore clipper, an express cruiser, sampans, shallops, sharpies, and schooners.
