This was the bible for beginning sailors at the end of the nineteenth century and was extensively referred to by the writers of the period, including Arthur Ransome, whose characters referred to it frequently. There's everything the beginning sailor would need to know to get started, and the book offers even greater benefit to lovers of traditional boats. Even beginners in the "clorox" fleet however, can benefit from learning the techniques and traditions of early yachting. First published in 1925.
