RESUMEN DEL LIBRO:
SAILPOWER FOR ANTIQUE AND TRADITIONAL CANOES. The following chapters will offer a basis on wich the reader can put together an interesting functional sailing rig, suitable for a traditional canoe, that put most commercially available rigs to shame, both and off the water. We'll start with the good old 55-square-foot lateen rig, but made the right way. Then we'll cut the canoe in half and inventory the various parts of the sailing rig and their functions. We'll look a differents sail plans and investigate the components needed to make it all work, with an occasional side trip for obscure but interesting stuff. Most canoe sailing rigs were originally adapted from small sailboats and dinghies, and many of the rigs that you will see here can also be used to power skiffs, prams, peapods, and other small boats.
PRECIO: 45,80 Euros
