How We Learned to Sail
An illustrated history of how sailing vessels developed, from the basic jobs of a boat to the forces that make a yacht heel and recover.
Field notes
The publication organizes its subject around the problems sailors encountered and the solutions that shaped vessel design. Its visible chapters range from the pre-sail requirements that a boat must float, move, and turn to the mechanics of heeling and recovery, including hull shape and ballast. The homepage presents Chapter 1 and Chapter 9 as available entry points, but the extract does not show the full chapter list or the depth of each installment.
