| Publisher Description: 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. |
