Sailing, Seamanship and Yacht Construction

Packed with information, ideas, and more than 300 excellent illustrations, this classic of the genre was written by the father of modern planing sailboats. Most of text focuses on individual vessels; among the 20 profiled are the 60-foot-long Landfall; the Patience; and the author's own creation, the Vigilant.
