2005 Book of the Year, Hobbies & Crafts, Silver Medal winner, from ForeWord magazine. What makes this landscape-formatted book unique is you are actually seeing each and every of the thirty-five pages (albeit in reduced size) of the plans which sell for $125. And, these plans are highly detailed, a tribute to Gifford's industrial design background. Gifford has added a bit of design commentary as well as information about sailing Marisol in his homewaters of Auckland, New Zealand. Measured metrically, she's a v-bottomed dagger-boarder built in glued-lapstrake plywood, with sawn frames. The boat is a 12'6 sailing skiff, that can handle rugged water.

5.0 out of 5 stars A skiff-sized modern classic
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2011

A modern classic with relatively modern building such generous amounts of epoxy lamination combined with thoroughly traditional looks. Gifford Jackson's artistry shines through in this book, with nearly every other page includes a fantastically detailed pencil sketch showing the numerous little details that make the Marisol Skiff such a pleasure to the eye. The plans appear complete, and accompanied by well written descriptions but a builder would want to blow up many of the drawings which would cost more than purchasing the full plans. As a boat building project, this would be about as difficult as it gets for a boat this size, with dozens of fiddly pieces to craft. Those not patient or wanting to get on the water fast, this is not the boat to build. I'd also not recommend this as a first boat building project. The only downside is there are no color photographs, but there are now many on line. For those with the time, experience and wanting lots of dockside conversation this is the right boat. This book is excellent.

Although this book contains the full set of plans necessary to build the boat, they are not full size. But, at $15 (jan 2008), it is a great inspirational building manual. The seasoned boat builder could easily use the plans to build, but the more faint of heart should probably buy the detailed plans from WoodenBoat.

Still, it's a great book to just have as a reminder of that boat you'll eventually get around to building...someday.

The value of a book for me is in many cases very personal, so this book reminds me of building my first dinghy in 1957. I am beyond that stage now! The artwork however is beautiful and descriptive.

This book contains basically the full drawings set beautifully made by the author, but at a smaller scale. This is a great way to study the plans cheaply before ordering the real drawings. Those drawings are a beauty and you can spend hours looking at all of the details.
We don't see that very good quality of hand drawn techniques anymore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite a good little book

A detailed guide to construction of the Marisol Skiff.
If I were to build the boat it would be all I would need.

But I hadn't realised that the boat is a catboat and that it has a daggerboard: both big NO-NOs.

But it's given me lots of ideas for repairing the boats I have and if I do build something.
A useful book.
