Item description from seller

Spray was the sailboat used during the first solo circumnavigation of the Earth by 19th-century Canadian-American seaman and author Joshua Slocum. This book brings together all the extant information on the Spray - her ancestry, rebuilding, performance and progeny. It culminates in the preparation of detailed plans and analyses of the original Spray, as well as a discussion of her behaviour under all possible conditions. Each of the 24 known copies of the Spray is considered in detail, including construction and behaviour.
