Square Rig Handbook

Aimed at the sail training sector, this
practical handbook explains how the
introduction of new materials has
influenced their design and operation.
Advice is given on voyage planning,
operations, safety, training and
equipment for vessels employing
modern technology rather than purely traditional design and
materials and those who serve, or wish to serve, as master,
mate or boatswain in a square rigger or large fore-and-aft
schooner. Construction, safety issues and voyage planning are
looked at in depth.
