A Yachtsman's Guide to Weather - A Collection of Historical Sailing Guides on Storms, Winds and How to Handle ThemPaperback, 1 June 2011

This volume contains a collection of classic articles on the subject of sailing yachts, dealing with storms, winds, and how to handle them. Carefully selected for a modern readership, these timeless articles will be of considerable utility to anyone with a practical interest in yacht sailing, and would make for worthy additions to collections of allied literature. The articles include: "Dinghy Sailing - Simply Explained", "Elements of Yacht Sailing and Cruising", "The Cruiser's Manual - A Complete Handbook of Yacht Cruising Under Sail and Power", "The Sailor's Horn-Book for the Law of Storms: Being a Practical Exposition of the Theory of the Law of Storms", "Yachting - How to Sail and Manage a Small Modern Yacht", etc. 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 sailing.
