Greg Rossel grew up cruising the waters of New York Harbor and spending time in the boatyards on the south shore of Staten Island where economics (more than anything else) made wooden boats the craft of choice. He makes his home in Maine where he specializes in the construction and repair of small wooden boats, as well as writing for several publications. Greg has been an instructor at WoodenBoat School in Maine since the mid-1980's, teaching lofting, skiff building, and the "Fundamentals of Boatbuilding".
BOATING. Culler is a seminal figure in the field, and his works are acknowledged as classics and are cited constantly in discussions of traditional boat building and design. This book features a foreword by Peter Vermilya, small craft curator of Mystic Seaport Burke who served for years as Culler's protege and published a catalog of Culler's designs.
Background essays and complete building plans for 16 boats. Also included are discussions of half models, taking off lines, building techniques, and an essay on the future of wooden boats.
The dory has seen duty as a fishing boat, lumberman's batteau, lifeboat, recreational rowing boat, and racing sailboat. The most comprehensive book about dories ever published, this is at once a history of the dory, a practical handbook on dory building, and a compendium of 23 dory designs with full construction details. The author, a longtime contributor to National Fisherman, and the illustrator, Sam Manning, are perhaps the foremost experts on the subject. A steady stream of letters and photographs to the late John Gardner from successful dory builders worldwide has been testimony to the widespread popularity and influence of this book.
