Neiv York Times, Nov. 1. 



The author, Mr. C. P. Kunhardt, is well known to All 

 yachtsmen through his writings in behalf of better boats 

 and a higher standard of skill while in charge of the 5-acht- 

 ing department of Forest and Stream, and his hearty 

 devotion to the sport, backed by a thorough scientific train- 

 ing, fit him peculiarly tor the task he has so well accom- 

 plished. The concciptiou of the work is a happy one; the 

 subject is treated plainly and jiractically ; fine .spun theories 

 and elaborated calculations are omitted, and only such re- 

 sults are given as will be useful to any intelligent yacht 

 sailor or builder. 



New York Evening Post, Oct. 24, 188.5. 



This book Alls a blank in American yacht literature, and 

 will be found a valuable addition to the hbraries of our 

 American yachtsmen. The subject matter, although covered 

 In a measure by such works as Dixon Kemp's - Yacht Design- 

 ing" and his "Yacht and Boat Sailing," is presented in more 

 attractive form, is much condensed, and is procurable at less 

 than half the cost of these volumes. It is practical through- 

 out—practical in the treatment of what is popularly called 

 theoretical. . . . We can recommend the book, notwith- 

 standing its title, "Small Yachts," to all yachtsmen without 

 reference to the size of their vessels, existing or in prospect.

Boston Herald, Oct. 4, 188.^. 

 One of the best publications on small yachts that has came 

 from the press for some years. . . . The volume as a 

 whole commends itself to the yachtsmen or to the landsman 

 who seek information on the subject of building, rigging, 

 fitting out and sailing yachts. 



American Canoeist, October, 1885. 

 To the man interested in boats— building, rig or sail— Kun- 

 hardt's book will be as interesting as a novel. It will not be 

 read through once and then shelved, but will be kept in a 

 convenient place for easy reference. It cannot get out of 

 date. 



New York Commercial Advertiser, Oct. 6, 18-5. 

 This collection [the plates] is a concise history of yachting 

 with small boats at the present time, and has .a value which 

 is not easily overestimated. . . . The many merits of the 

 book will commend it to all who are interested in yachting 

 and to all who want to be. 



San Francisco News Letter, Dee. 5, 188.5. 

 The largest, most complete and handsome volume upon 

 small yachts shat we have seen. . . . The whole scope of 

 yachting is ablj^ handled. 



The Oermantown Telegraph. 



It is beautiful in workmanship, abundantly illustrated and 

 proves itself on evei y page tlie work of a writer thoroughly 

 conversant with and' eutliusiastic about his subject. . . . 

 It is to those who love yachting for its own sake and are intent 

 to be their own masters that this work will appeal most suc- 

 cessfully, for it shows how to build and run a small yacht, 

 which will give all the sport one wants and make a true 

 sailor of its owner. 



New York Herald, Dec. 12, 1885. 



New York: FOREST AND STREAM PUBLISHING CO.. 39 Park Row. 



There is a growing tendency among those who delight in 

 "a whiflE of the briny" to own a small and staunch cruiser, 

 and to sail either single-handed or with a nautical shipmate. 

 To those whose fancy lies in that direction, but who have not 

 yet achieved their ambition, we cannot conceive of a better 

 book than this of Mr. Kunhardt. There are numerous large 

 plates and designs of every kind of boat, which can be rec- 

 ommended as reliable. There are sail plans and rigging plans, 

 and there are also many shi-ewd suggestions and hints which, 

 the old seadog as well as the young tyro may read with 

 advantage. The Forest and Stream Publishing Company 

 issue the book in a style which does them great credit.
