A Classic Handbook on Sailboat Handling, Sailing Procedures, and Water Etiquette

This unabridged reprint Legacy Edition of Herbert L. Stone's The Yachtsman's Handbook is a classic manual on how to be your best on the water when the wind is in your sails. Originally published in 1912, Stone collects multiple points of interest regarding traditional sailing and yachting techniques with essays from multiple experts of the day. Over 100 years old, this antique handbook is a wonderful study on the history of sailing, water sports, and boating in the early days before electricity and technology!

Chapters in this classic manual include proper navigational equipment for sailing, mooring equipment and ground tackle for small boats, how to care for and handle sails, how to handle dinghies, how to tow a dinghy, how to use leads and feeling your way with the lead, rules for being on the water and running a boat, how to use the compass, how to take bearings for position, how to keep your ship's log, how to pick up an overboard person, and the etiquette of yachting.

This vintage book includes timeless knowledge about sailing and yachting. Although this book represents thought from a former time, it also reveals much about the rich history of outdoors recreation, and many of the tips, tricks, and discussions are still relevant for study today!
