Excerpt from Notes on Yachts: First SeriesThe subject is a large, and in some respects an abstruse one, and probably a majority of the men who are fitted by nature and circumstances to become yachtsmen, are deterred at the outset by the obscurity in which it is enveloped, and the object of this book is to set forth in a simple way the principles upon which small vessels are constructed, and to point out the chief desiderata respecting them: to sweep away the imaginary obstacles that deter men from sailing or building yachts and to overhaul the prejudices common to landsmen in general.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
