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.
