x Preface The brief history of Gougeon Brothers and WEST SYSTEM epoxy (Chapter 1) and overview of modern wood/epoxy composite construction (Chapter 2) are new. We have also written new prefaces for each chapter, alerting readers to changes or new techniques. In addition, we have included limited new material within the chapters to update infor- mation and reflect significant shifts in practice. Hardware bonding receives greater emphasis in the 5th edition. We have also updated safety information and included current product information. Revised appendices reflect ongoing testing and developments. New photo- graphs show the wide range of successful boats built during the last 35 years using the techniques discussed in the book. To meet the needs of an international audience, we have also provided metric equivalents for the English measure- ments used in the book. Where there are standard metric sizes—for sheet plywood dimensions, for example—we give these. For measurements that do have a direct metric equivalent, we use approximations based on common metric standards or round off for clarity. Thus, this updated 5th edition of The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction not only continues to make funda- mental information on “modern” wood/epoxy boatbuilding readily available to readers. Through its revisions, it also provides a contemporary context for understanding these materials and techniques. While we are planning new publications to cover changes, choices, and considerations in wooden boatbuilding for the 21st century, we continue to print The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction: Wood and WEST SYSTEM Epoxy as a snapshot in time—modern wooden boatbuilding as it emerges from traditional methods to embrace new materials and new technologies.PDF Image | Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction
