"The stories and articles in this book appeared in their original form in YACHTING. " Includes articles on cruising and "since yachtsmen are today's heirs to the traditions of the days when most of the world's trade was carried in sailing vessles we have included a few yarns of deep water coastal and Great Lakes sailing vessels whalers and fishermen. The part played by yachtsmen in naval and other activties afloat in two wars is recognized with the inclusion of several wartime yarns. . High adventure gales and shipwreck always made good reading so we have included perhaps a disproportionate number of such tales. . To balance the adventure yarns we have included a sprinkling of stories of the more peaceful and characteristic aspects of cruising and sailing. . With 44 years of YACHTING to select from we have included some the the best of the recent stories and articles along with those of years ago. Part II is concerned with the 'how to do it' type article in which yachtsmen even those of long experience can usually find something of instruction and interest. " Frontispiece is a b/w photo.
