Year: 1966 Language: english Author: Arthur Beiser Genre: Handbook Publisher: The Macmillan Company Edition: First ISBN: B0007DZYEM Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 326 Description: The Proper Yacht offers suggestions for choosing the yacht that will fit your budget and still be adaptable to future needs and desires. The advantages of custom-built craft are weighed against possible economies of stock boats, fiberglass and metal construction are compared with the traditional wood, and the design of the boat is considered in relation to the size, skill, and strength of the crew that will sail it. Although concerned primarily with cruising under sail, the author includes a thorough discussion of the influence of racing on yacht design. The essentials of construction, rigging, accommodation, engines, and safety equipment are analyzed, with attention paid to planning ahead for possible modification later on. Accompanying this stem-to-stern review is a boat-by-boat analysis of a whole fleet of proper yachts—sloops, yawls, ketches, cutters, schooners—complete with photographs of the boats in action, plans, cabin layouts, and details of construction.
