Practical Boat Sailing for Amateurs - Containing Particulars of the Most Suitable Sailing Boats and Yachts for Amateur and Instructions for Their Handling, Etc.

Originally published in 1886. Illustrated with designs and plans of small yachts and sailing boats, and numerous diagrams. The detailed contents deal with every aspect of this popular pastime. Many of the earliest sailing books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
