With marine artist Sam Manning's drawings, the book documents the traditional free-form method of drift-boat construction. Whether you are a fly fisherman who appreciates the gentle lapping of water on wood or a boat builder who wants to recreate a piece of history, DRIFT BOATS AND RIVER DORIES is sure to satisfy.Fletcher, Rodger L. is the author of 'Drift Boats and River Dories Their History, Design, Construction, and Use', published 2007 under ISBN 9780811702348 and ISBN 0811702340.
