Theory, systems and more

This book explains why modern boats are the way they are. The principles are valid for any size or price boat. It explains theory and construction practices in currently in use in boat manufacture from hull and rig design to mechanical system choice, placement and tradeoffs. The intended audience is not the designer/engineer or the armchair romantic, but rather the person who is looking to make more informed decisions in selection and purchase or to commission design and construction of a boat likely to be available in the mainstream market today.
