Synopsis:

Excerpt from Notes on Yachts: First Series

The 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.
