On Yacht Sailing A Simple Treatise for Beginners upon the Art of Handling Small Yachts and Boats

Part 4

Chapter 42,471 wordsPublic domain

This little book, a very clever abridgement and complication of the heavier works of several authorities, is one that has had quite an extensive sale, and has met with universal approval. It is very clearly and very carefully written, and the explanations of the problems are so lucid that no man should be forgiven who fails to understand them. I have seen many books of this kind intended for beginners, but to my mind this is the best of the lot, and I recommend it to those who are anxious to study navigation.--EDITOR OF THE RUDDER.
