Sinopsis

Although there exists a range of books on the topic of sailing, not many are devoted chiefly to sailing dinghies, and fewer still that are designed for the novice. With step-by-step instructions and simple diagrams, this volume is highly recommended for the modern enthusiast, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents Include: “Sailing”, “General Purpose Dinghies”, “What to Sail and Where”, “Mainsails”, “Fore-Sails”, “More Sails”, “Rigging, Ropes and Knots”, “The Hull and Fittings”, “The Centre Board”, “Ground Tackle”, “Wind And Water Launching”, “Landing and Moorings”, “Points of Sailing”, “Reefing”, etc. Many old books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing “Dinghy Ownership” now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing.

Reseña del editor

There are many excellent books on sailing but very few devoted solely to dinghies. This is a book suited to those whose interest is mainly in just plain sailing, rather than those who wish to race. It contains a number of fairly original suggestions from the author who has found them to be successful on his own general purpose dinghy. A useful book for anyone interested in 'messing about' with as well as in their boats. Contents Include Sailing General Purpose Dinghies What to Sail and Where Mainsails Fore-Sails More Sails Rigging, Ropes and Knots The Hull and Fittings The Centre Board Ground Tackle Wind And Water Launching, Landing and Moorings Points of Sailing Reefing Sailing Single-Handed Trailing (A Mooring in Your Garden) Safety Precautions What to Wear Olla Podrida The Beaufort Wind Scale Cordage Some Splices and Hitches
