Desirable and Undesirable Characteristics of Offshore Yachts
Year: 1987 Language: english Author: The Technical Committee of The Cruising Club of America Genre: Handbook Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc Edition: First ISBN: 978-0393033113 Format: epub Quality: ebook Pages count: 303 Description: If you what to know what considerations are taken in designing an offshore cruising sailboat, this is the book for you. It walks you through the history of offshore yacht design from the heuristics and traditions of the past, through the racing-inspired changes that led to the Fastnet tragedy, and finally to the lessons learned from that incident and mathematical models that challenge the assumptions of the past. While there are a few boats reviewed in the book, they are there only to illustrate the various choices that can be made when designing an offshore racer/cruiser. This is not a guide to boat buying and is not intended as such. If you want to know how the capsize screening formula was derived or what the single most important factor in preventing a breaking-wave capsize is, you'll really enjoy this book. If you want to know how to calculate the ventilation requirements for your crew and how that affects the direction in which you open each of your hatches, look inside this book. If you are interested in buying a sailboat for offshore use and want to compare it to the criteria defined by the very experienced and knowledgeable members of the CCA technical committee, buy this book. If you are looking for a list of good offshore boats that you can buy then look elsewhere, it's not in here. This is a book for people who want to make their own lists.

Desirable and undesirable characteristics of offshore yachts
Same for me. The majority of the pages seems fine but it appears but there are definitely some blocks that are messed up. If I have to guess I'd say this happened with some images but this is only a guess as I don't have a good copy to compare it to.
Guys, This is what I have. I don't have a pdf file. I opened the epub file with Adobe digital edition and I have the same result. I suppose we are missing some pictures. Anyway, I have ordered this book from the local library and in 10 days I will make a scan of the missing (corrupted) pages and add to this book. No worries...Come back in a week or so...
