The importance of small fishing craft to the world catch of fish cannot be underestimated but little attention has in the past been given to their design. The primary purpose of this book is to disseminate the specialized knowledge needed for designing improved small fishing vessels. It has been structured to cover every item which needs to be taken into account, working in easy stages from background material to the specification for a finished design. The logical and well–balanced format takes the reader through general principles to factors specific to fishing vessels and the content is so comprehensive that much will be of equal value to users and designers of larger vessels. It is an invaluable volume enhanced by detailed drawings of exceptional standard.
The use of ice on board smaller fishing vessels is increasing, due to factors such as the growing demand for fresh fish, market globalisation and increased quality controls, and the decrease in near-shore fish resources which forces fisherman to make longer fishing trips and use ice to preserve the freshness of their catch. This publication describes the requirements for the use of ice and chilled seawater on fishing vessels, from small insulated containers in dugout canoes, to refrigerated tanks on bigger vessels.
This comprehensive guide to flat-bottomed fishing boats provides detailed technical specifications, design plans, and construction tips for anyone interested in building or modifying their own small fishing vessel. Whether you're a commercial fisherman or a recreational angler, this book is an invaluable resource for getting the most out of your fishing experience.

This book deals with ship design and in particular with methodologies of the preliminary design of ships. The book is complemented by a basic bibliography and five appendices with useful updated charts for the selection of the main dimensions and other basic characteristics of different types of ships (Appendix A), the determination of hull form from the data of systematic hull form series (Appendix B), the detailed description of the relational method for the preliminary estimation of ship weights (Appendix C), a brief review of the historical evolution of shipbuilding science and technology from the prehistoric era to date (Appendix D) and finally a historical review of regulatory developments of ship's damage stability to date (Appendix E). The book can be used as textbook for ship design courses or as additional reading for university or college students of naval architecture courses and related disciplines; it may also serve as a reference book for naval architects, practicing engineers of related disciplines and ship officers, who like to enter the ship design field systematically or to use practical methodologies for the estimation of ship's main dimensions and of other ship main properties and elements of ship design.
The increasing cost and scarcity of durable boatbuilding timbers have affected the construction of fishing craft around the world. The developed world has by and large witnessed the transfer from traditional wooden boatbuilding methods to either less conventional wood construction techniques (e.g., plywood or wood laminates) or non-wood materials such as fibre reinforced plastic (FRP), steel, aluminium and ferrocement. These techniques generally favour less labour intensive methods of construction. In the developing world where timber is still the predominant boatbuilding material, the scarcity and high cost of good quality timber have not meant that less wooden boats are being built, but rather that building quality has deteriorated through the use of poor quality timber. At the same time, however, attempts have been made to diversify construction methods with varying degrees of success. This publication is intended to benefit those who are considering ferrocement construction; it is assumed that those who use the book are already conversant in small fishing vessel construction.
The 21st-century update of yacht designer Buehler's popular guide to fuel-efficient and safe offshore cruising powerboats is loaded with detailed information about cruising design theory, building, and outfitting.
