This is another valuable publication designed specifically for the owners of the boats and yachts who want to make some improvements to the existing arrangement of their craft in order to reach better performance characteristics and also make it a more comfortable place. The book opens with some general information followed by the chapter on the performance of the hull as well as the propulsion and resistance of the boat, and the basic stability matters.
After that, the sails and rigs, deck and steering arrangements, plumbing and many other aspects are covered. The boat and yacht machinery is dealt with in the separate section of the volume. The main objective of the author was to perform the professional evaluation of the contemporary technology and also to have a close look at each part pf the modern boat design, together with the construction features, control and, of course, seaworthiness.
Every effort was made to examine all available electronic navigation and communication means of today, which contribute to the safety of navigation. Note that the author’s intention was to concentrate on the most important aspects to make sure that none of the vital areas are missed. Make sure you go through the volume carefully.
