Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book by Edwin A. Boardman lays the groundwork for those with sailing interest to understand the nuances of racing yachts. Focused on advising owners, designers, and general enthusiasts, Boardman shares his knowledge and experience on how to build, prepare, and manage a yacht to win a race, from initial design to race day maneuvering. Instead of employing a complex vocabulary, Boardman uses clear language, descriptive diagrams, and demonstrations with photographic examples. The volume follows a logical progression that leads the reader through each segment of racing sailboat use, starting with planning and prepping the unique vessel itself, to the best ways to employ expert seamen, sails, and other resources. Lastly, Boardman shares effective techniques for handling the yacht during each phase of a race. He also discusses topics like weather conditions and how to capitalize on wind patterns, and the factors that come into play when multiple boats are competing simultaneously in a race. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333505936_0
