The last century saw the introduction of two technologies destined to change wooden boatbuilding forever. The first was epoxy bonding. By making marine glue joints practical, epoxy bonding changed boat joinery as radically as electric-arc welding changed steel fabrication. The second new technology is computer aided drafting and cutting. From a numerical model of the subject vessel, the loftsmans computer programs produce files depicting the true shapes of a boat's parts--quickly, accurately and repeat-ably. Computer aided drafting replaces the painstaking approximations of traditional lofting. Computer-controlled cutting machines can use the files to automatically produce actual parts from planar materials, such as plywood, at little more than material cost.

It is the message of Capt. Nat's New Boat that although today's boat builders have become familiar with epoxy and computerized lofting, these new technologies are far from fully exploited. Capt. Nat's New Boat describes Sanford Boat Company's nine innovations that will transform today's cold molded hull into a stringer-built boat. Sanford's stringer-built boat begins with the realization that the diagonal layers of a cold molded shell structurally replace traditional frames, leaving the builder free to shape the hull and stiffen its shell with easy to form stringers. The other eight proceed from there. The result is a boat offering the strength and beauty of traditional wood construction combining indefinite longevity with lower cost. If you are a lover of wood boats or are thinking of buying one, read Capt. Nat's New Boat to discover what you can look forward to. Or, if you are a boat builder, read it and surprise your competitors.
