About this title

Synopsis

This book is a collection of classic articles on the subject of yachting, with detailed information on knots and splicing, selecting a boat, sailing on rivers, sailing in bad weather, and many other related aspects. Carefully selected for a modern readership, these articles will be of considerable utility to novice sailors, and would make for fantastic additions to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Outing Library of Sport - Boat Sailing in Fair Weather and Foul", "Sailing - A Guide for Everyman", "Sailing", "Small0Boat Sailing - An Explanation of the Management of Small Yachts, Half-Decked and Open Sailing-Boats of Various Rigs; Sailing on Sea and On River; Cruising, Etc.", "Motor Boating for All", "Boat Building and Boating", 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 sailing.
