This antiquarian book contains a collection of historical articles on
the planning and construction of model sails. Written in clear, plain
language and profusely illustrated, the articles of this guide will be
of considerable utility to modern readers with an interest in building
model boats and ships, and would make for great additions to collections
of allied literature. The chapters of this book include: "Model
Building", "Sailmaking", "The Sails - This Important Part Fully Dealt
With - Alternative Methods and Materials Described and Each Sail
Illustrated", "Sail Planning", and "The Development of Sail Plan". Many
vintage books such as this are increasingly hard to come by and
expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this
book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes
complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on model
building.
