Nautical Flags - A Collection of Historical Sailing Articles on the Use and Recognition of Flags

This book is a collection of classic articles on motor boating and yachting, covering many aspects of the sport but focusing on the use and recognition of flags. Carefully selected for a modern readership, this timeless volume will be of considerable utility to anyone with a practical interest in boating or sailing and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. The articles include: "e;Sailing - A Practical Handbook on Equipment, Handling and Up-keep of Open, Half-Decked and Small-Decked Boats"e;, "e;The Boatman's Manual - A Complete Manual of Boat Handling, Operation, Maintenance and Seamanship"e;, Piloting, Seamanship and Small Boat Handling"e;, "e;Yachts and Their Recognition"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
