Trap Press is an offshoot of our years of boatbuilding. We publish
and distribute Walter Simmons' boatbuilding books, from the classic (and just rewritten) Lapstrake
Boatbuilding to the most recent, Building the Harbor Skiff and Building the Alli8. These books are intended to be used, not simply to decorate
a coffee table. And we've introduced Boatbuilding in Pictures CDs
as well...see below.
Our books are large format (8-1/2" x 11"), comb bound
to lay flat on your bench, and provided with sufficient white space
for those all-important notes. Our CDs are in Adobe Acrobat® format and are readable on Macs and Windows machines. The information
contained in all of them is the product of decades of first-hand
experience, years spent honing skills and inventing little tricks
to get the job done more efficiently.
As one reviewer said, "Boatbuilding is never easy, but
there are easier ways to do things, and those are explained
clearly and concisely." Here are the books that explain building
traditional small craft, and will help you to get your boat right
the first time.
