Aimed at the sail training sector for vessels employing modern technology not purely traditional design and materials, this practical handbook explains how the introduction of new materials has influenced their design and operation. Advice on voyage planning, operations, safety, training and equipment is given. Of interest to masters, mates or boatswains of square riggers or large fore-and-aft schooners, it covers construction, safety issues and voyage planning.
