I have stretched the word yacht to include everything from small dinghies to large cruisers, both sailing vessels and powered craft. I have also used the term yachtsman to include yachtswomen and yachtschildren, so that I may use he and him for everyone, to keep the text easy to read. In this revised edition, I have taken heed of constructive comments made by reviewers 6 years ago, and tried to simplify some of the difficult topics, highlighted for me by sailing instructors and yachtsmen to whom I have lectured. Illustrated throughout with 36 diagrams, 36 black and white and 12 colour photographs." The Author Ingrid Holford was amongst the first women graduates who were recruited as weather forecasters during the Second World War. She was a WAAF Officer from 1942-46, forecasting and briefing air crew in RAF Training Command.
