Flavio has used a combination of design factors to produce a race winner. Not a simple task, given Presto is a "cruising" boat built in layers (bread-and-butter fashion) from balsa wood. Whether you build Presto or use the concepts to create your own Footy, Flavio will open up a whole new world of boatbuilding and sailing, on a very manageable scale.

Book includes plans (in reduced form) background information as well as a progression of building photos.
