by C.E. Tyrrell Lewis
with an introduction by E.G. Martin
Here's another useful little reference for the practical cruiser. The contents include: Rigs; Motors; Shoal-Water Cruisers, Hauling Out--Repairs; Accommodation; Spars and Rigging; Reefing, Furling and Brailing Tackle; Deck Fittings; Ground Tackle; Tenders; Conversions; Motor Installations and Emergencies. From the Introduction by E.G. Martin; "In The Handyman's Yacht Book, Mr. Tyrrell Lewis has written a book which, in my opinion, deserves to be classed with [Claude Worth's] Yacht Cruising, and I feel that this is indeed high praise . . . The Handyman's Yacht Book deals generally with smaller craft than Yacht Cruising, and is especially a book for the man who sails a yacht which he can handle alone when necessary. . . . It is, I think, one of the best illustrated text-books which I have seen. . . . The Handyman's Yacht Book came to me as a surprise, and it is because I found so much pleasure in reading it that I have ventured to commend it to other yachtsmen." Also, Yacht Gear and Gadgets by Conor O'Brien himself.
