Présentation de l'éditeur
Boat Sailing, Fair Weather and Foul, has induced me to embark in a new venture. The following Wrinkles, gleaned from practical experience, observation and study, are printed in the hope that they may prove of interest and value to lovers of sailing craft. I want to warn off literary critics by the frank admission that I am not worthy of their steel, being an old sailor who went to sea when he was thirteen, and spent many years afloat where books were scarce. So far as yachting critics or nautical experts are concerned, I must let my work speak for itself. If it has no other merit, it has at least been conscientiously done. A. J. KENEALY.
