| Kitap Tanıtımı | “The Snark is to be sailed. There will be a gasolene engine on board, but it will be used only in case of emergency, such as in bad water among reefs and shoals, ftwhere a sudden calm in a swift current leaves a sailing-Thboat helpless. The rig of the Snark is to be what is called Ththe “ketch.” The ketch rig is a compromise between the yawl and the schooner. Of late years the yawl rig Thhas proved the best for cruising. The ketch retains the cruising virtues of the yawl, and in addition manages to embrace a few of the sailing virtues of the schooner. ThThe foregoing must be taken with a pinch of salt. It is all theory in my head. I’ve never sailed a ketch, nor Theven seen one. The theory commends itself to me. Wait till I get out on the ocean, then I’ll be able to tell more about the cruising and sailing qualities of the ketch” (Tanıtım Bülteninden) ) |
