Synopsis

Take to the water with the definitive vintage guide to small-craft seamanship, Canoeing, Sailing And Motor Boating by Warren Hastings Miller. First published in 1919, this comprehensive work was written for the enthusiast who yearns to be afloat but prefers the self-reliance and economy of building and maintaining their own vessel.

Miller, a veteran outdoor writer and former editor of Field and Stream, provides a masterclass in naval practicality. The book is celebrated for its "plain language" approach, making complex boat-building projects accessible to the "boat-fusser" and the amateur woodworker alike. It bridges the gap between simple rowing craft and the more technical requirements of motor-driven and rigged sailing vessels.

Contents include:

• The Sailing Batteau
• Sail Dory, Duckboat and Skiff
• Catboats and Knockabouts
• Boat Building
• Canoeing and Cruising
• How to Rig and Handle an Open Canoe
• Canoe Cruising
• How to Build a Decked Canvas Cruising Canoe
• Canoe Fittings
• Motor Boat Management and Construction

This book is a quintessential classic for wooden boat builders, sailing historians, canoe enthusiasts, vintage motorboat collectors, and anyone captivated by the traditional craft of boat handling and construction.
