The Gradall A Story of American Ingenuity

Jim Grant

Publisher: JHG Partners, LLC (

Now completely revised and updated, and expanded by more than fifty percent, The Complete Canvasworker's Guide, Second Edition, brings you Jim Grant's thorough step-by-step approach to constructing a nearly endless variety of attractive and functional gear for your boat. Grant, with his wife, Connie, has taught sailmaking and canvaswork for more than 20 years, and he brings an often intimidating craft within the grasp and budget of anyone from an all-thumbs beginner to a would-be professional. 
Forget that canvas always used to be made of cotton. Today it is far more commonly woven of synthetic fibers: acrylic, polyester, or nylon. Here is all the information you'll need to make use of them all. Grant's no-frills approach, refined over years of answering the questions of puzzled students, is for any boatowner who wants to take needle to fabric. And as tens of thousands of proud boatowners will happily testify, it really works. 
Here's what reviewers have said about The Complete Canvasworker's Guide: 
"Literally every question is answered in this book."--Yachting 
"Chock full of everything from basic information to a variety of ideas designed to improve, upgrade, and protect a boat."--Small Boat Journal 
An immensely practical book."--Practical Boat Owner 
"A concise and to-the-point workbook."--Soundings

What is grit? Grit is the determination to achieve long-term goals, often against difficult odds. The word grit is often used as an umbrella term to describe being resilient, persistent, and having the will to deal with and overcome obstacles. Because learning is often a challenge, a student's grit can make the difference between failing and making the grade. Students who develop grit can improve their academic performance through strengthened resiliency and perseverance. Grit traits become good habits that enable students to persist in the face of adversity, setbacks, and disappointments when pursuing their goals in school and out. Although grit is not an academic skill, the good news is that it can be taught in school, not as an add-on, but through strategies that can be easily incorporated into an existing curriculum. This book will provide a roadmap for how to go gritty in the classroom, and the classroom strategies to get you and your students there. Learn the key attributes of grit and the research behind it. Learn the connection between motivation and grit and see explicit connections between grit qualities and improvements in students attitude and performance. Dozens of explicit classroom-ready strategies for building the grit capacity of students, foster motivation and strengthen perseverance, and raise academic performance. Flexible, effective strategies to differentiate instruction for all learners. Understand the benefits of allowing students to struggle and even fail from time-to-time, and how to motivate them to recover from failures. Practical classroom routines for goal setting and reporting: Set Goals, Visualize Goals, Anticipate Obstacles and Unintended Consequences.
