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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is intended to be a practical and concise presentation of some of the operations involved in designing yachts of all types. Cumbersome and impractical methods which are so often found in more pretentious works on naval architecture have been avoided. Those presented have been in everyday use by the author." Thus wrote Norman L. Skene in the preface to the fifth edition of Elements of Yacht Design. Skene's is one of the most famous books on yacht design ever written. First published in 1904, Skene did several revisions, the last of which was published in 1938 and is reprinted here in its original form. In 1962, the book was completely revised by Francis S. Kinney and republished as Skene's Elements of Yacht Design. Kinney's last version was published in 1973 and it is long out of print. While the experts are divided on the relative merits of the different editions, it appears that there is strong demand for Skene's original work. At last the book is again available to the many boatbuilders, aspiring naval architects, and sailors who need it for frequent reference. The index has been completely revised and expanded to make it more useful for today's readers.

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. Sooyou will find in many of my chapters that Iam exceedingly dogmatic. It is unintentional, simply being a manifestation of the spirit peculiar to this style of addressing 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 Elements of Yacht Design This book is intended to be a concise and practical presentation of the processes involved in designing a modern yacht. There is at present an almost utter lack of material of this character which is in accord with modern American practice, and it is thought that the book may find a useful place among works on yacht architecture. It is intended to be thoroughly practical in character, all mathematics and theoretical presentations having been eliminated as far as possible, so that the operations may be readily grasped by men without technical education. A special feature of the book is the series of curves on plates VI, VII, VIII and IX, for determining the proportions of sailing yachts of various sizes. These have been prepared by the writer from data on a large number of yachts, and should prove of great assistance in roughing out a design. The methods presented for determining stability have been selected with reference to their applicability to small work, and are not ordinarily to be found in works on naval architecture. The various operations involved in designing a sailing yacht are illustrated in the text by work on the thirty-foot water line sloop whose plans are given on plates I, II, III and IV. This is intended to be a conventional rather than an ideal design, and was chosen on account of its suitability for purposes of illustration. The complete data on this design is given in the appendix. The author is indebted to Prof. C. H. Peabody, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for criticism and suggestion.

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 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.

But he is not faultless; he makes some grave mistakes, even while he has high aims. The most important lesson in morals to be derived from his experience is that it is unwise and dangerous for young people to conceal their actions from their parents and friends; and that men and women who seek concealment choose darkness be cause their deeds are evil.

In these two vessels he has visited at different times most of the places alluded to in the tale. He must be permitted to mention these facts, and to ask the reader to accept them as proof of the general truthfulness of the descriptive matter, and of the interest which he.

It is proper, therefore, at the outset, for the author to speak of the design of the work. It has been framed mainly with a view to call the attention of Yachters, to the several phenomena ordinarily occurring at sea and on ship-board; but it is by no means so closely confined to nautical matters and technicalities, that landsmen may not read it with profit, and, 'it is hoped, with interest.
