Hardcover. Demy folio, [27.75cm/11inches], full embossed cloth sans dust jacket, pp. 118. Illustrated with 100 full page halftones in a variety of colours. Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. . Manfrd Curry was an accomplished yachtsman who represented the US at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympic Games,he sailed more than 1400 regattas, many of which he won. In later life he worked as a doctor specialising in bioclimatics and became the self-proclaimed discoverer of the pseudoscientific phenomenon of "geomagnetic lines" or "Earth radiation" called the Curry Grid. . In 1925, Curry wrote a pioneering book on yacht aerodynamics and racing tactics, published through to the present day and widely translated, describing how he undertook a scientific study on sailboat design, testing various rig configurations in a wind-tunnel at Göttingen. The significance of his book within yachting has been described by stating that he was the first to bring engineering analysis of the design of sailboats to the public eye. In the book, he describes several of his inventions or developments that are in widespread use today, including the fully battened mainsail, developments to Genoa jibsails and spinnakers, the 'Park Avenue' boom and the cam cleat (Called the "Curryklemme" in German). He described two successful racing dinghies as well as innovations used on an America's Cup yacht. Cove a bit whimpled; Text and plates are in Very Good shape.
