As you already may know, Russell Brown is the son of famous multihull designer Jim Brown. Although he’d never say so himself, Russ is probably one of the most knowledgeable individuals around when it comes to building boats in wood, fiberglass and epoxy.
After many years of building and repairing different boats, there is no doubt one is likely to pick up more than a few tricks of the trade. Hands-on-experience is the best teacher.
Russ’s current business in Port Townsend, Washington offers, among other things, “nesting dinghy” kits to owners of cruising vessels. But Russell is now publishing materials that show readers how to work with glass & epoxy in ways that save them a great deal of time and effort.
I think the real value of Russell’s knowledge, however, may be in his ability to help boatbuilders make things look really nice. Epoxy applications can look very attractive when proper techniques are applied.
With this in mind, I am happy to refer you here, which will direct you to a page on Russell’s website featuring a new ebook for those who are either new to working with epoxy … or would simply like to see effective techniques demonstrated by a skilled artisan.

My wife and I wish to build a small trim ran as sailing is new to us. Our intentions are a dream of circumnavigation of Australia maybe further. Both having minor learning disabilities we figure lake and river work in a small boat is best to get experience. So we would like to build a small Trim ran 18 Foot to go away overnight or for the weekend. We live in Seymour Victoria and have the Goulburn near by. Advise on best builds would be appreciated. Light as possible as we only have a small car. We also need to drop the mast easily as people block rivers with bridge’s.
I have bought a 37’ Searunner
It is being hauled out this week. Looking forward to fixing up and maybe some minor improvements.
Can not afford it but getting crazy ideas about foil assist.
Repairing some dry rot etc.
New hatches, portals, and stations. Like to remodel the stern castle. Will see what I can get done!
