Book Description
Excerpt from Boat Sailing in Fair Weather and Foul Ever since I was high enough to look over the gunwale of a skiff I have been a devoted lover of the water. My first experience as a navigator was as the bold skipper of a raft consisting of three timbers lashed together, more or less securely, with a sheet fresh from the linen chest ingeniously spread as a sail. No doubt I felt as happy as the primeval savage with a hollow tree for a ship and a skin of some wild beast extended to catch the favoring breeze. Since that eventful period I have had not a little experience with boats, their rigging, their equipment and their sailing. If any of this knowledge can be of practical use to the amateur boat sailer or yachtsman, the object of this work will have been achieved and the desire of the author gratified.

Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.
