Description:

Excerpt from Canoeing, Sailing and Motor Boating: Practical Boat Building and HandlingWith most men whose homes are beside salt water, river or lake, the desire to get afloat and navigate their own craft is ineradicable. Beginning with the boyhood batteau, we grow to the youth's catboat or dory, and then to manhood's yacht or motor boat. The sea-faring blood seems well distributed throughout the country, as witness the army of inland bluejackets trained at the Great Lakes and other stations far from our seacoasts.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.It is to this great class that I write.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
