I borrow them from the public library. Three people who write about
plywood boat design and construction are:

Thomas Firth Jones
Sam Devlin
Harold Payson

You can find lots of info and photos on the Internet and probably don't
need to buy a book.

Aries,
I recommend: "Boatbuilding With Plywood", by Glen L. Witt, Naval
Architect, the enlarged 3rd edition. It is published by Glen-L Marine
Designs. Mine has a 1989 copyright.

I am about to post a web site about my building and sailing two
MiniCups. Several other people here have built MiniCups and have good
advice.
Before you start, I strongly reccomend that you use either 3/16 marine
ply or the 1/4" bathroom underlayment for decking, sides and bulkheads
and 1/4 marine ply for bottoms. Use epoxy glue.

remove the N for my proper e-mail address. I'd really like to hear
from other MiniCup builders.

I would recommend "Boat-Building for Beginners and Beyond" by Jim Michalak

The MiniCup is a fun little boat. A couple of people - including me - who
post here have built one.

Although I am having trouble putting in the pictures, my site about
building the MiniCups is at:
