Reseña del editor

In LAUNCH iN a theM anual of Yacht and Boat Sailing I desire to acknowledge the valuable aid which I received during its compilation. Mr. J. Beavor Webb compiled the tables for rigging and blocks and gave me the lines of the I tchen Boats; Mr. Gr. L. Watson of Sauchiehallstreet Ghisgow made the drawings of Clyde Sailing Boats and wrote the chapter thereon; Mr. C. P. Clayton gave me the lines of theN ew Brighton Sailing Boats and much information concerning their outfit and management; and he, too, with Mr. W. B. Porwood, gave me the instruction I required concerning Windermere Yachts; Mr. W. Baden Powell gave me the drawing and particulars of the Gunter Sprit Rig introduced by him; Mr. T. Stow, yacht builder, of Shoreham, gave me the lines of theB righton Beach Boat; and Mr. J. B. Wills, of Penzance, the design of the Pdhzance Lugger. Some of the information on other subjects I obtained from correspondents ofT he Field, and I believe the source is in each case acknowledged in the text.
