This book is a collection of historical articles about yachting, with
information on design, construction, maintenance, repairing, sailing,
and many other related aspects. Carefully selected for a modern
readership, this timeless volume will be of considerable utility to
anyone with a practical interest in yachting and would make for a
fantastic addition to collections of related literature. The articles
include: "The Complete Yachtsman-B. Heckstall-Smith and E. Du Boulay",
"Popular Mechanics Build a Boat for Pleasure or Profit - It's Easy to
Build your own Boat", and "The Badminton Magazine of Sports and
Pastimes, January 1896-Mrs. Alex Tweedle". Many old 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.
