Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Yachts and Yacht Handling But this method of handling a subject is apt to breed dogmatism, especially as the reader is unable to question or deny the statements made until they have been chilled into ink. So you will find in many of my chapters that Iam exceedingly dogmatic. It IS un1ntentional, simply being a manifestation of the spirit peculiar to this style of addressmg an audience - one that must hear but cannot answer. Therefore let me warn you to question all my statements, and to accept only those that harmonize with your own conclusions, after you have carefully thought them over. Those that you cannot reconcile to your own knowledge and experience, lay on one side to be tried out at a future day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yachts and Yachting It was not until February had waned, and March had come that his heart went strongly back to his old love over there in the boat-yard, and his steps turned toward her. The approach to the yard was muddy; snow and ice still lingered, and was there mingled with mud. Rubber boots were as yet in the locker, with old trousers, soiled and well-beloved sweaters, ancient and respected hats, and other gear that made life on the boat one of serene and unfashionable pleasure. Without these appurtenances an inspection of the boat could not be complete; it could not be intimate; but there was assurance she had wintered well, from the friendly old yard - master, bearded and wrinkled, past fourscore and still loving a boat as when a lad; and, this, with the Spring air, and a casual look at the old boat under her Winter coverlet, was enough to rouse a feeling to which there is no fellow in the heart of man, - the spur to independent action, the lust of roving, the desire to be free of everybody on shore, and, with started sheets, to sail away out of the city's harbor to some snug and private cove of his own among the rocks beyond the headland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ready About, or Sailing the Boat As indicated in the sub-title, Sailing the Boat is one of the principal features of the book. This is an art that cannot be mastered by simply learning the theory. Nothing but abundant practice can make a competent boatman. Fifty years ago, the writer, how ever, would have deemed it very fortunate if he could have obtained from a book, even such instruction as he has endeavored to impart. He has by no means ex hansted the subject, though whatever more is to be learned will almost come of itself with experience; The author has learned in fifty years that there is always something more to learn; and the handling of a yacht has come to be almost high art in the amount of time, study, and enthusiasm bestowed upon the subject in recent years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canoeing, Sailing and Motor Boating: Practical Boat Building and Handling With most men whose homes are beside salt water, river or lake, the desire to get a oat and navigate their own craft is ineradicable. Begin ning with the boyhood batteau, we grow to the youth '3 catboat or dory, and then to manhood 's yacht or motor boat. The sea-faring blood seems well distributed throughout the country, as wit ness the army of inland bluejackets trained at the Great Lakes and other stations far from our sea coasts. Once a sailorman, always a sailorman, - even if the craft is of the most modest pretensions. And we do not outgrow our old loves. At forty we get as much fun out of the tiny canoe as from the expensive power cruiser, and to those of us whose purse (and we are many) does not permit anything resembling a fancy yacht, the craving to venture forth on the waters is well satisfied by a cruising canoe, a small sailboat, or a twenty-foot power boat, home-built, perhaps from knockdown frames.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yachts and Yachting: With Over One Hundred and Ten Illustrations The history Of the New York Yacht Club, for the first sixteen yea1s Of its ex istence at least, is practically the history Of American yachting. For the first five years it was the only yacht club in the United States. The Southern yacht club, with its head-quarters at New Orleans and its racing course on Lake Ponchartrain, was the second club organized, but it was purely a local organization; its yachts were small open boats, and it had no real national influence, The third club 'was the Neptune, at the'highlands, organized in 1850, one year later than the Southern; but it was rather -a'fishing than a yachting club, and like the Southern, its boats were for the most part open centerboards Of small size. It-may have had an occasional race on the Shrewsbury River, but it was simply a summer. Organi zation, and, except in name, had none of the character istics of a regular yachting organization. The Carolina club, with head-quarters at Wilmington (if I am not mistaken), North Carolina, ranks fourth in point Of age, but was Of no importance ex cept, perhaps, locally. It was organized in 1854.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Yachts: First Series The subject is a large, and in some respects an abstruse one; and probably a majority of the men who are fitted by nature and circumstances to become yachtsmen, are deterred at the outset by the obscurity in which it is enveloped; and the object of this book is to set forth in a simple way the principles upon which small vessels are constructed, and to point out the chief desiderata respecting them: to sweep away the imaginary obstacles that deter men from sailing or building yachts and to overhaul the prejudices common to landsmen in general.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Construction, Rigging Handling of Model Yachts, Ships Steamers: With Remarks on Cruising Racing Yachts, and the Management of Open Boats; Also Lines for Various Models and a Cutter Yacht This has been necessitated by the alteration in the Yacht Racing Association rule of measurement. The rule, as it now stands, reads thus - Length added to Breadth and multiplied by the same figures, then multiplied again by Breadth alone, and divided by 1730, the quotient is the tonnage. Although this rule does not very materially alter the tonnage of existing yachts, at the same time it gives a slightly fairer chance to the designer than the old mode of calculating the tonnage, inasmuch as length plays a more important part in increasing the nominal size than it did formerly. This being so, it becomes possible to build a vessel on less exaggerated dimensions for racing purposes, and which, while taking her part in sailing matches with fair success, will be found a handy and comfortable cruiser. The limited deck space and great draught of water of the modern 10-ton racer is greatly against them when wanted for cruising besides the number of hands required to work, say the Buttercup or Neptune, puts them out of the reach of those young yachtsmen who find one paid hand a serious item in their weekly expenditure. It may be said, and with some justice, that those who cannot afford to do the thing properly ought not to go in for yachting. At the same time there is much to be said on the other side, and it was certainly not the aim of the originators of sailing matches, to make yachting in 5 or 10 tonners such a costly amusement as to put the sport beyond the reach of thosewho have to earn their livelihood at the desk or in the workshop. However, it is hardly likely that the new rule will have much effect in cheapening yachts while the price of lead and labour is kept up, so that the long purse will still have the best chance Of carrying the day in yachting rivalry. Some of the modern-built vessels come very near the dimensions and type Of my craft, and as it has served its purpose it is no longer Of any importance. The success which has attended Louise, Buttercup, and others has corroborated in a most marked manner all I alleged with respect to the influence Of the then Yacht Racing Association Rule in favouring the elongated type Of vessel illustrated in the design in question. The measurement question, however, is very far from being settled, and a new experiment is about to be tried by the Y. R. A. Based on the length and area Of canvas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yachts and Yacht Building: Being a Treatise on the Construction of Yachts The great want of scientific principle in the construction of yachts must be evident to everyone who has given the subject any con sideration and it is on account Of this want that so few yachts are built which answer the expectations Of the builder or owner. The deficiency may be traced to two principal causes, first to the imper feet knowledge of the theory Of Naval Architecture, which the generality Of our yacht builders possess, and secondly to the very Slight inducement for any improvement given by the yacht clubs. Although the builders are undoubtedly men of great experience, still the very nature Of their employment prevents that careful study of the scientific part Of their business which can alone produce a competent naval architect; in fact, Naval Architecture is with them Of secondary importance, instead of demanding the greater share Of their attention. In other constructive arts there are two distinct branches, the architect, to whom is entrusted the design, and the builder, whose business it is to carry out the design, and whenever these separate branches of a trade have been united mediocrity has invariably resulted, because the time and attention requisite to produce proficiency in either branch prevents more than a partial knowledge Of both.
