Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Royal Yacht Squadron: Memorials of Its Members, With an Enquiry Into the History of Yachting and Its Development in the Solent; And a Complete List of Members With Their Yachts From the Foundation of the Club to the Present Time From the Official Records Yachting therefore presents no singularity among modern sports in its lack of a venerable history. Its popularity as a diversion of Englishmen grew from quite modest beginnings in the second half of the eighteenth century, and among men of moderate means who, in their day, in no way represented the wealthy classes who are its chief supporters in our own. As we shall see, its first practice in England, at least, was confined to fresh water, or at most to the estuary of the Thames. Salt-water sailing was a development of the sport which waited for its vogue until the beginning of the period which we have named as that Of sporting England. Its growth to its present position in the sporting life of the country is very closely identified with the history of the Royal Yacht Squadron, a history which we propose to make a prominent part of our undertaking.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ...two headings--cutters and schooners. The cutters were divided into four classes: the first of 30 tons and under 50; the second of 50 and under 75; the third of 75 and under 105; the fourth of 105 and upwards. Schooners were placed in two classes: the first of those under 140 tons, the second of those of 140 and over. With the reclassification the Committee adopted a new system of time allowance calculated on tonnage and the distance of the course, devised by Mr. G. H. Ackers, a member of the Squadron, and known as Ackers' Graduated Scale and adapted to the Queen's Cup course of forty-five miles, proportionate allowances being made for longer or shorter courses. These and some other arrangements, which resulted from the zeal of the club officials in 1843, wrought a great improvement in matters at Cowes, and the regattas of that and the few following years were perhaps the most brilliant and successful since the foundation of the club. One most popular measure was that which gave a cup for the first of a series of races to be sailed for by yachts belonging to any royal yacht club in the kingdom. This event brought a great muster of vessels into the Solent in 1843, chiefly from the Thames. The entries were limited to yachts under 35 tons, and eleven small cutters started over a course twice round the West Buoy, Brambles, the Lepe, and the starting-boat off the Castle. There followed a very good race, marked by much clever manoeuvring, which was won by the Champion of Mr. H. Gunston, a name very famous in the early records of Thames racing. The same event in the following year (1844) produced one of the finest races ever witnessed at Cowes. Here the vessels were limited to 25 tons, fourteen of which--all belonging to the R.T.Y.C.--appeared at...

Download or read book Fathoming the Ocean written by Helen M Rozwadowski and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] amiable, in-depth examination of the most critical era for the development of modern oceanography” (Publishers Weekly). In a history at once scientific and cultural, Helen Rozwadowski shows us how the Western imagination awoke to the ocean's possibilities?in maritime novels, in the popular hobby of marine biology, in the youthful sport of yachting, and in the laying of a trans-Atlantic telegraph cable. The ocean emerged as important new territory, and scientific interests intersected with those of merchant-industrialists and politicians. Rozwadowski documents the popular crazes that coincided with these interests?from children's sailor suits to the home aquarium and the surge in ocean travel. She describes how, beginning in the 1860s, oceanography moved from yachts onto the decks of oceangoing vessels, and landlubber naturalists found themselves navigating the routines of a working ship's physical and social structures. Fathoming the Ocean offers a rare and engaging look into our fascination with the deep sea and into the origins of oceanography?origins still visible in a science that focuses the efforts of physicists, chemists, geologists, biologists, and engineers on the common enterprise of understanding a vast, three-dimensional, alien space. “Rozwadowski greatly expands our own understanding, all while telling a story that is original, wide-ranging, and illuminating.” —Margaret Deacon, Southampton Oceanography Centre, author of Science and the Sea: The Origins of Oceanography “Required reading for anyone wanting to understand how the oceans have come to play the role that they do in Western knowledge.” —Eric L. Mills, Dalhousie University and author of Biological Oceanography: An Early History, 1870-1960 “Chronicles the birth of deep-sea oceanography, from early observations by Benjamin Franklin to the voyage of HMS Challenger in the 1870s. [Rozwadowski] weaves a rich narrative from the world of renowned as well as lesser-known oceanographers.” —Nature
