About the Author
James Dodd's hearty linocuts show in a very simple way the diversity of different boat rigs. The alphabet of Boats started life as a teething book for his son and daughter: six English east coast boats printed onto wood and bound by a spliced rope ring. As his children cut their teeth, so the idea of an alphabet grew. Defining the difference between a Smack and a Bawley, a Ketch and a Lugger, from Ark to Zulu, for young and old, this alphabet will both amuse and inform. He is now teaching his children to sail, which as brought about a follow up book, "ABC of Boat Bits", naming the parts of a small gaff-rigged sloop.
