Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a practical guide to sailmaking, written for both professional sailmakers and those who use sails. The author emphasizes that sailmaking is not simply a craft, but requires a scientific understanding of the principles behind sail design and construction. The book explores the importance of sail shape and its relationship to a vessel's performance, particularly in the context of fore-and-aft sails, which are crucial for lifting a vessel out of the trough of the sea. The author challenges the traditional, often "rule of thumb" approach to sailmaking, arguing that a more scientific method, based on understanding the forces acting on sails, is essential for achieving optimal performance. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to master the art and science of sailmaking, offering a detailed analysis of the materials used, the importance of calculating the center of effort, and the proper application of allowances in cutting and sewing sails. It is a work that reflects the author's years of experience and dedication to the craft, and his belief that properly designed and constructed sails are not only vital to a vessel's speed but also to the safety of the crew. The book's insights are a testament to the enduring importance of understanding the science behind sailmaking, a craft that has played a central role in maritime history and continues to be relevant today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781333458638_0
