This book is a collection of classic articles on the subject of yachting, with detailed information on selecting a boat, sailing in bad weather, sailing for children and beginners, maintaining a boat, and many other related aspects. Carefully selected for a modern readership, these articles will be of considerable utility to novice sailors, and would make for fantastic additions to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “How to Sail”, “Junior Skipper's Handbook – A Guide to Sailing for Boys and Girls”, “Learning to Sail”, “Outing Library of Sport – Boat Sailing in Fair Weather and Foul”, “Sailing”, “Sailing – A Piratical Handbook on the Equipment, Handling and Up-keep of Open, Half-Decked and Small-Decked Boats”, and more.
