Product Description
David Stimson grew up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and learned boatbuilding while working in the local boatyards. During this time, he developed an eye for boat design from Merton Long, a retired catboat builder who became his friend and mentor. David's love of traditional boats was further inspired by the writings of John Gardner and Pete Culler in the 1970's and by WoodenBoat Magazine. He now lives in Boothbay, Maine, with his wife, Tamora and two teenage boys, Abraham and Nathaniel. He is a sailing charter captain during the summer, and designs and builds boats at Stimson Marine, Inc. in Boothbay.

West Pointer Through others Eyes
By HarDenz
After admiring the West Pointer designed and build by Alton Wallace for many years it is very interesting to see how David Stimson has taken the West Pointer and developed it into an interesting version by changing the lines slightly and producing a boat that any keen boater would be proud to own. The Ocean Pointer puts another slant on an already impressive skiff and I am looking forward to building my own version in the not to distant future.

An incomplete package
By A. Taylor
I ordered this item for myself recently while doing a little "one for you, one for me" Christmas shopping. I've been reading it for a few evenings now. I feel a little misled, as neither the Amazon product description nor the Woodenboat catalog description mention that the book is useless without the plans - which will set you back another $104 on the author's website.The book itself seems well-written, with small, easily digestible chapters covering specific steps in the process. While there are a few very small figures obviously taken from the plans, they are neither large enough nor complete enough to actually build the boat in question. In my opinion, the author has erred a bit too much on the side of "make it sound simple," leading to glossed-over construction details in many places where a good deal more detail would be appreciated by the types of readers likely to buy a "how-to-build" book.If I give in and purchase the plans, I have no doubt that this book will successfully guide me through the construction process; however, judged solely on its own merits, I have to say I'm less than satisfied with this purchase.
