Inhaltsangabe

This concise reference book describes development of European and North American sailing rigs and defines and explains all the different forms, both for square and fore-and-aft rig.
The book is arranged by rig type, from the full-rigged ship down to the catboat; each is illustrated by specially-commissioned scale drawings that depict all the varieties and illustrate well-known or significant ships. The concise text defines and introduces each type and explains its history and development, while a wide array of contemporary photographs and paintings show the various sail plans in their different guises and employment. A chart of the basic classifications enables the reader to quickly identify the rig of any sailing vessel.
