Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. One of a new series of concise reference books intended to appeal to both the specialist and more general markets. Heavily illustrated and visually appealing. Keenly priced for maximum market penetration This concise reference book describes the development of European and North American sailing rigs and defines and explains all the different forms, both for square rig and fore-and-aft. It is intended as a first stop for anyone needing to understand and identify all the different arrangements and concentrates on the classification of rigs and their variations rather than the countless ship types that were driven by the different rigs. The book is arranged by rig type - full-rigged ship, barque, barquentine, brig, brigantine, schooner, ketch yawl etc, and all their derivatives - and each of them is illustrated by specially-commissioned scale drawings. These depict the varieties of each type and then, in greater detail, show particular examples of well-known or significant ships. The concise text defines and introduces each type and explains its history and its application. There are also a number of contemporary photographs, and an illustrated glossary of masts, spars and sails defines all their separate parts. By the nineteenth century a varied and complex array of rigs had developed to drive a whole range of hull shapes under widely different conditions; Sailing Rigs will explain all this diversity to the non- specialist while at the same time offering a valuable reference source to the modelmaker as well as the knowledgeable devotee of the sailing ship. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
