This book is a collection of classic articles on sailing yachts, dealing
with subjects including boat design, equipment, repairs, sailing yachts,
and much more. Carefully selected for a modern readership, these
timeless articles will be of considerable utility to anyone with an

Up-keep of Open, Half-Decked and Small-Decked Boats", "Modern Boat
Building", "Practical Conversions and Yacht Repairs", "Elements of Yacht
Sailing and Cruising", "Yachting - How to Sail and Manage a Small Modern

commissioned new introduction on boating.
