Year: 1923 Language: english Author: Francis B. Cooke Genre: Manual Publisher: Longmans, Green & Co. Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages + text layer Pages count: 206 Description: This book was written in an era of transition from large yachts, that needed professional crews to small yachts, usually sailed by the owner and his family, without paid hands. The idea is that anyone who acquires a knowledge of the general principles of seamanship can, with a little practice, soon learn to sail a small yacht with confidence. The aim of the book is to explain the theory of seamanship and its practical application in simple language that should be intelligible to the beginner. A full glossary of nautical terms has been added for convenience, as well as diagrams of knots and hitches, to explain the basis of the marline-spike seamanship.
