Publisher's Synopsis
""Boat Sailing in Fair Weather and Foul"" is a comprehensive guide to sailing by Ahmed John Kenealy, first published in 1905. This book is a valuable resource for sailors of all levels, from beginners to experienced sailors. It covers all aspects of sailing, including the basics of boat handling, navigation, and seamanship. The book is divided into two main sections: ""Fair Weather Sailing"" and ""Foul Weather Sailing."" In the first section, Kenealy provides detailed instructions on how to sail in calm and moderate conditions, including how to handle sails, steer the boat, and navigate using charts and compasses. In the second section, he discusses how to sail in rough weather, including storms, heavy winds, and high seas. He offers advice on how to prepare the boat for foul weather, how to handle the sails and rigging in difficult conditions, and how to navigate safely through storms. The book also includes chapters on safety at sea, yacht racing, and cruising. With its clear and concise explanations, practical advice, and numerous illustrations, ""Boat Sailing in Fair Weather and Foul"" remains an essential reference for sailors today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
