About this title

Synopsis

This vintage book is a complete guide to build, rig, and sail self-acting model yachts. With simple, step-by-step instructions and a wealth of handy tips, this profusely illustrated handbook constitutes a must-have for the novice model yachtsman and would make for a fantastic addition collection of allied literature. Contents include: "Fundamental Requirements", "Sailing the Model", "Sailing Terms", "Names of Model Yacht Parts", "How to Adjust the Sails", "Typical Designs", "Swallows", "Rib and Plank Building", "How to Build the 48-inch Racing Model 'Spindrift'", "Building a Fully-Rigged Scale Model Yacht", "Things the Model Yachtsman Should Know", "Tools", "Materials", "Cellulose Finishing", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on building models.
