A Manual of Yacht and Boat Sailing. I found this in my boat related googling and thought some of you may be interested in this seminal text. I can't stop reading it! Take a moment to brouse the contents ( if you don't already have the book ). You can view online without download and there is even a talking book option! Enjoy.

Forgot to mention that it is long out of copyright and very hard to find originals and the site is legit. Also if you type in Dixon Kemp in the search bar you will find "Yacht Architecture", another famous work.
