PREFACE.
The kind reception given by yachtsmen generally to “Boat Sailing, Fair
Weather and Foul,” has induced me to embark in a new venture. The
following “Wrinkles,” gleaned from practical experience, observation and
study, are printed in the hope that they may prove of interest and value
to lovers of sailing craft.
I want to warn off literary critics by the frank admission that I am not
worthy of their steel, being an old sailor who went to sea when he was
thirteen, and spent many years afloat where books were scarce. So far as
yachting critics or nautical experts are concerned, I must let my work
speak for itself. If it has no other merit, it has at least been
conscientiously done.
