This book is a collection of classic articles on building yachts and
motor boats, dealing with design, repairs and maintenance, equipment,
materials, and many other related aspects. Carefully selected for a
modern readership, these timeless articles will be of considerable
utility to anyone with a practical interest in the subject and would
make for worthy additions to collections of allied literature. The
articles include: "Motor Boating for All", "The Motor Boat and Yachting
Manual - A Practical Handbook for All Who Are Interested in Motor Boats
of Any Type", "Yachts and Their Recognition", "Practical Conversions and
Yacht Repairs", "Dinghy and Small Class Racing", "An Introduction to
Yacht Design", and "Amateur Boat Building". Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing
this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a
specially commissioned new introduction on boat building.
