The copyright page traces this title back to its first London publication in 1967, with this substantially revised fifth edition appearing in 1983.
The book is especially suited to sailors, sailmakers, racing and cruising enthusiasts, and readers building a serious boating reference shelf.
This edition discusses newer sailmaking technology of its period while retaining extensive material on traditional sail theory, construction, tuning, trim, and repair.
It is the kind of older technical reference that still invites opening rather than simply sitting on a nautical shelf.
