SMALL YACHTS. 



Their Design and Construction, Exemplified by the 

 Ruling Types of Modern Practice. 



By O. P. XSXJM'XX.A.XC.DI?. 



The FoTiEST and Stream Publishing Company takes pleasure in announcing tile publication of a magnificent quarto volume, bearing the above title. This book covers the 

 eld of Small Yachts, -with special regard to their design, construction, equipment and keep. The opening chapters are devoted to a consideration of the model and the draft, their 

 relations to one another, and the purposes which they subserve. Full directions are given for producing the plans of a yacht with reference to the chief points in design, and the method 

 of taking off the lines of a boat already built is likewise described in detail. 



All elements entermginto design, such as Resistance, Stability. Balance of Rig, Handiness, Displacement, etc., are dealt with io separate chapters. The rules necessary for the 

 mathematical computations, and a review of theory and practice close the first division of the book. 



The second portion comprises the description of the Plates, covering the whole range of type in small yachts, from the shoal catboat and American centerboard sloop to examples 

 of the narrowest and deepest British cutter yet built. These yachts have their lines, build and fittings depicted in the Plates, which are drawn to scale. With their aid and the specifi- 

 cations presented, the reader is placed in possession of accurate information concerning the mould, accommodations, rig and characteristics of all styles of yachts which have received 

 favorable recognition.^ Sporting boats, combination row and sailboats, and various examples of special form are introduced. 



The third division offers a comprehensive review of single-hand sailing, to which small yachts are especially adapted. Directions are given as a guide in selection of type and sail 

 plan,and subsequent equipment and proper management. 



The ii-on work of yachts, their gear, yawls, stearing apparatus, boat building and much other closely related matter is entered upon. The new I nternational Rules of the Road, 

 Signal Service, and a bibliography appear in the Appendix. 



The work is profusely and handsomely illustrated with 150 illustrations inserted in the text, besides the sixty -three plates as follows:

New 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 yacht- 

 ing department of Pobest and Stream, and his hearty 

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

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

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

 subject is treated plainly and practically ; fine spun theories 

 and elaborated calculations are omitted, and only such re- 

 sults are given as wilt be useful to any intelligent yacht 

 sailor or builder. 



New York Evening Post, Oct. 24, 1885. 



This book fills a blank in American yacht literature, and 

 Will be found a valuable addition to the libraries of bur 

 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, notwitli- 

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

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



Boston Herald, Oct. 4, 188.5. 

 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. 



Amencan Canoeist, October, 1885, 

 To the man interested in boats— buUding, rig or sail— Knn- 

 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, Dec. 5, 1885. 

 The largest, most complete and handsome volume upon 

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

 yachting is ably handled. 



The Oennantown Telegraph. 



It is beautiful in workmanship, abundantly illustrated and 

 proves itself on every page the work of a writer thoroughly 

 conversant with and enthusiastic 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 budd 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. 13, 1885. 



There is a growing tendency among those who delight in 

 "a whifl of the briny" to own a small and staunch cruisei', 

 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. Thereare sail plans and rigging plans, 

 and there are also many shrewd 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.
