Synopsis
Fore And Aft: The Story Of The For & Aft Rig From The Earliest Times To The Present Day by Edward Keble Chatterton traces the origin and evolution of the fore-and-after rig from ancient Nile square-sails to the nuggar-lug and lateen, through the Mediterranean to Northern Europe. It surveys how square-sailed ships gave way to fore-and-after designs, beginning with the nuggar-lug in Egypt, the dhow and the lateen in the Mediterranean, then following northern adopters in the Low Countries and Britain. The work chronicles Holland’s pivotal role in developing the modern fore-and-after craft—yachts, buss-ships, tjalks, galleots, and the spritsail’s evolution into the gaff and boom—before turning to England’s adoption, the rise of the Mary and the Mary II, the growth of revenue-cutters, pilot craft, and fishing-smacks, and finally the Victorian/Edwardian expansion of the cruising yacht, sailing clubs, and the advent of the motor auxiliary. Rich with illustrations and sources, the book blends historical detail with practical insight from the author’s seafaring experience, aiming to reveal the heritage and modern vitality of fore-and-aft sailing.
