Will satisfy boat lovers and anyone who enjoyed HOUSE

THE ARCHITECT'S APPRENTICE is a book about the conception, design, and construction of a dream that became a beautiful wooden sailboat. More than that, however, it is a book about people involved in the process of bringing an idea to reality. Being human, they do not always have the same agenda, and the author skillfully builds a fascinating account of their personalities, interactions, and conflicts. There is not a happy ending for all of them.Anyone who enjoyed Tracy Kidder's best seller HOUSE, will enjoy this book.
