Hello!
This is good stuff, I quote the opening chapter:
/…/
This book is a basic “how-to” guide for rigging modern single masted sailboats up to about 25′ in length. Any person building his own small sailboat, buying a new boat, or one who already owns a boat and wants to replace or change the rig on his boat will find this book valuable. We have attempted to write the book so it can be easily understood by both the beginning sailor as well as the “old salts”. However, if you are looking for a “how-to-sail” book, or a book on competition “tuning and racing”, or a book on “sailing theory,” then this is not the book for you. What is here is practical information on basic rigging and how to install it.
