Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Harper's Boating Book for Boys: A Guide to Motor Boating, Sailing, Canoeing and Rowing
From boat-building the reader advances to boat-sailing, an art which involves manifold practical considerations: the choice of a boat, its outfit and care; the management of helm, sheet, and sails, and a study of different types and models. These helpful and comprehensive chapters on sail ing and sail-boats will afford useful hints even to Corinthians who pride themselves on their experience.
