The gentleman yachtsman's companion-in two volumes
Towards the end of the 19th century a series of books was
published by the Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes covering
a variety of leisure activities in considerable depth. Many of the
volumes consisted of essays, each written by a specialist
contributor, covering different aspects of the sport or pastime.
Many of these authors were members of the British oligarchy and
aristocracy who were well placed, by experience, knowledge and the
capacity to devote time and resources to these activities, to
become acknowledged experts able to provide unmatched expertise and
anecdotal information to their readers. The series was of
sufficient value to warrant the approval of the Prince of Wales at
the time. One of the best of these comprehensive guides is a
substantial two volume edition which considers all aspects of
yachting both technically, in terms of the construction and
performance of the vessels, and as a sport and pastime. Leonaur has
reproduced this superb guide to yachting for the modern reader.
Each volume contains a substantial and interesting collection of
data, diagrams, design drawings and a host of other illustrations.
Volume two covers royal yachts, English, Scottish and Irish yacht
clubs, the Thames Clubs, Windermere, yachting on the Norfolk
Broads, yachting in America and New Zealand, foreign and colonial
yachting, the American yachting season of 1893, the America Cup
Races, 1893 and much, much more. There is something in these
volumes to fascinate every yachting enthusiast as well as those
interested in the history of yachts and sailing.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
