By C. D. Mower
Designing Editor of THE RUDDER
A simple and practical work in every detail, showing how to construct a
launch hull suitable for use with any description of motor.
Each step of the work is clearly and thoroughly explained, both by
text and drawings, so that a man who has never even seen a boat
built will have no difficulty in understanding the process.
The author, a self-taught boat builder, thoroughly comprehends
what a novice does not know, and is, therefore, able to point out
the hard places, and to show the amateur builder how to get over
or around them.
In the after part of the book are given the designs of several
launches, from 18 to 50 feet in length.
The whole is heavily illustrated, and is the most complete
treatise on launch building yet published.

_On Marine Motors & Motor Launches_
A handy book for yachtsmen
By E. W. Roberts, M. E.
A reprint in a handy form of Mr. Robert's instructive and interesting
RUDDER articles. In it the author explains what a gasoline motor is,
and points out in understandable language the difference between the
types, and shows what is a good motor and what is a bad one.
He gives valuable information to the buyer, and also explains
how to run a motor, how to prevent breakdowns, and how to remedy
defects.
To the novice, the chapter on _gasoline_ is alone worth the price
of the book, as it explains the properties of that fluid, and the
proper manner in which to handle it so as to prevent accidents.
No motor man should be without a copy of this book; it will save
him time, trouble and expense.
