From the humble waterman's boat to the sturdy North Sea fishing smacks to the great racing cutters of the late 19th. century, the gaff rig has proved effective and versatile. This book has been regarded as the definitive reference for anyone designing, building, rigging or sailing either an existing gaff-rigged craft or a new one. Profusely illustrated.
