The text likely covers a range of topics related to yachting, from personal anecdotes to technical aspects, appealing to enthusiasts, novices, and anyone interested in maritime pursuits. The opening of the work introduces the concept of yachting as a form of paradise, contrasting different interpretations of pleasure and leisure associated with the sea. Sir Edward Sullivan shares his personal experiences and preferences in yachting, emphasizing the joy and fulfillment found in sailing as opposed to steaming. He discusses various aspects of yachting culture, including the camaraderie among sailors and yacht crews, and presents his views on the evolution of yachting, touching upon the charms of both sailing and steam-powered vessels.
