Iain Oughtred

For decades, boat building has catered for the rich and the elite, and has been out of the reach of ordinary people both economically and culturally. Iain Oughtred has challenged this philosophy by designing beautiful yet inexpensive wooden boats which are ideal for amateur construction. This book looks at his designs and philosophy.

Timp de decenii, constructia de barci a atins bogatia si elita si nu a fost la indemana oamenilor obisnuiti, atat din punct de vedere economic, cat si cultural. Iain Oughtred a provocat aceasta filozofie prin proiectarea de barci frumoase, dar ieftine, din lemn, ideale pentru constructia de amatori.
