Intermediate technology using modern materials (if you are willing to accept such a contradiction in terms) is best exemplified by the work of Harold Payson in his interpretation of the designs of Phil Bolger. Payson’s instant boats are plywood craft that are simple, easy to build, and marvelous to behold and use. His book of the same name is informative, thought provoking, and truly delightful to read. If you can imagine and appreciate a down-east boatbuilder describing how to fuse traditionalism with avant-gardism, you will thoroughly enjoy Instant Boats.
