Synopsis
This book is the result of a series of experiments conducted by the author to develop scientific principles for building boats and ships. Prior to the author's work, this was largely guesswork and mysticism. The author's experiments established the relationship between a vessel's speed and stability, based on factors such as the shape of the hull, the line of flotation, the angle of the bows, the length of the boat, the width of the boat, and the thickness of the boat. The author also delves into the effects of masts, sails, and rudders. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of naval architecture and will be a welcome addition to the library of amateur and professional boatbuilders alike. Through the author's pioneering methods, shipbuilding can now be approached with a level of scientific rigor that was not previously available.
