Model yachts and model yacht sailing, how to build, rig. and sail a self-acting model yacht
Year: 1880 Language: english Author: Walton J.E. Genre: Manual Publisher: Griffith and Farran Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 103 Description: Along with Biddle's work, this is the one of the earliest books on pond models. It has been called naive with regard to its approach to design. The Potts and Croxson bibliography of model yachting says the first edition was published in 1879, the second in 1896, and does not cite this 1880 printing. They go on to say the book is a curiosity, both to bibliophiles and to model yachtsmen. There are not many open-air amusements which afford more genuine enjoyment to old and young than Model Yacht Sailing; if practised in a properly scientific manner it resembles a game of croquet, in which the water is the lawn, the wind the mallet, and the ships the balls ; and the most skilful yachtsman is as certain of winning his match as is the most skilful croquet player.
