This vintage book is a complete guide to sailing, with chapters on cooking and housekeeping at sea. Written in simple language and profusely illustrated, this volume will be of considerable utility to modern readers wishing to learn how to sail, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents Include: "On Setting Sail", "Sailing with Notes on Balance", "Lugs", "Strong Winds and Reefing", "Rules of the Road", "Mooring, Stowing, Awnings, Down Mast", "About Knots", "On Ship keeping", "The Kitchen", "Sailing Dictionary", etc. Many old books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing "Sailing Made Easy and Comfort in Small Craft" now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing.

Rese�a del editor

Originally published in 1930, this is a compact guide to seamanship for beginners sailing on inland waters. Although it is easy to assume that there is little seamanship required on the quiet waterways of Britain, this book advises the reader about some common mistakes and pitfalls. With an ever increasing amount of people choosing to take their holidays on boats, it has some useful information on safety, comfort and enjoyment and of course, the food that is practical to cook on board.Contents Include: On Setting Sail and Getting Under Way Sailing With a Note on Balance-Lugs On Strong Winds and Reefing On the Rule of the Road Mooring, Stowing, Awnings, Down-Mast About Knots On Ship-Keeping The Kitchen Dictionary and Index
