This vintage book is a collection of authentic yacht sailing anecdotes. Complete with humorous sketches and written in a style that reflects the whole-hearted enthusiasm of the author, “Cruises In Small Yachts” constitutes a must-read for sailing enthusiasts, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “Projected Cruise—Our Ship—Dimensions—Provisioning—The Crew—Erith Hard—Toggery”, Water—Hauling Off—An Addition to Crew—Under Way—Thames Barges—From Erith to Rarnsgate to Dover—The Breaker”, “Dover to Sloe—Flushing—The Roompot—Keeten Mastgat—Hallevoetsluis—Rotterdam”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on sailing. “Cruises In Small Yachts” was first published in 1926.
