This book serves as a compilation of advice and tips aimed at young skippers who are just starting in the world of yachting. The focus lies in helping them acquire the necessary skills for boat handling, maintenance, and navigation. The opening of the book introduces the author’s motivation for writing; Thomas Fleming Day received numerous letters from young men seeking guidance about yachting, which inspired him to compile practical advice. He emphasizes the importance of acquiring a thorough understanding of yachting, including sailing mechanics and practical skills such as tying knots and repairing sails. Day's tone is instructive, encouraging young skippers to learn not just how to operate a yacht but why it functions the way it does, thus fostering both competency and confidence on the water. The opening sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the ins and outs of sailing, from buying a boat to understanding the workings of the craft. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
