It is a browser's reference to understanding how boats tick; all you've ever wanted to know about boats-power and sail, racer and cruiser, dinghy and megayacht. In a clear, nontechnical style he explains everything from how thick a hull should be to why one sailboat tips less than another, from choosing an engine to designing a rig for your trawler yacht, from building a dinghy to simple rules of thumb for dozens of design quandaries.
