This book is a collection of classic articles on motor boating and
yachting, covering many aspects of the sport but focusing on the use and
recognition of flags. Carefully selected for a modern readership, this
timeless volume will be of considerable utility to anyone with a
practical interest in boating or sailing and would make for a fantastic
addition to collections of related literature. The articles include:
"Sailing - A Practical Handbook on Equipment, Handling and Up-keep of
Open, Half-Decked and Small-Decked Boats", "The Boatman's Manual - A
Complete Manual of Boat Handling, Operation, Maintenance and
Seamanship", Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling", "Yachts and
Their Recognition", 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.
