This book is a collection of classic articles on the subject of sailing
yachts, with information on living quarters and their construction,
repairing and maintaining yachts, selecting a vessel, sailing, and many
other related aspects. Carefully selected for a modern readership, these
articles will be of considerable utility to anyone with an interest in
sailing, and would make for useful additions to collections of allied
literature. Contents include: "Yachting - How to Sail and Manage a Small
Modern Yacht--Arthur E. Bullen and Geoffrey Prout", "Your New Boat -
Yachting Magazine", "Practical Conversions and yacht Repairs--Michael
Verney", "The Handyman's Yacht Book--Michael Verney", and "The
Handyman's Yacht Book--C. E. Tyrell Lewis". 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 boat building.
