This book is primarily intended as an aid for the newcomer to model boat building. In taking the stage by stage construction of a typical model power boat, from the drawing board to completion, the book intends to present the fundamental principals of model boat building so that the novice will have no difficulty in constructing any of the models which have been dealt with in detail in the latter part.

The building of models again calls for a high degree of accuracy and craftsmanship. It 1s futile to design a boat carefully and not to build her true to design. Patience and accuracy are, therefore, essential.
