Classic Boat Seamanship by Martin Tregoning

Following the widespread popularity of the bermudian rig, which has dominated the sailing world for the past 50 years, the renaissance of traditional boats and their rigs has burst on a whole generation for whom mastering the apparent complexities of gaff and lug rig is by no means an everyday skill. This book takes the new gaff sailor from a first appreciation of the rig, through preparing the boat and getting under way, manoeuvring under power and sail, anchoring, mooring, mastering traditional helmanship and finally returning the boat safely to her berth. It includes a glossary of sailing terms to assist in the unravelling of mysteries of such terms as Baggywrinkle, bumkin, jigger, joggle, nock, snotter and truss.
