THE
NEW BOOK
FROM
MICHAEL C R EMMETT
&
KEVIN A MURPHY
|
In
this book the
authors endeavour
to cover in detail
the many aspects
of rigging and
seamanship that
developed over
hundreds of years
and have been
largely forgotten
and lost in the
passage of the 20th
century. Both
authors were
fortunate enough
to have worked
alongside men who
earned their
living from
commercial sail.
Preserving these
skills is
important as it is
conceivable that
man will have to
return to
commercial sail,
especially with
declining oil
supplies. The
first section of
this volume
follows a crew,
which includes the
reader, on a
voyage aboard a
sailing vessel.
The second section
contains detailed
explanations of
the gear,
terminology or
actions, which are
partly
instructive,
partly historic
with clear
illustrations.
