The Innovative Yacht |
The Innovative YachtThe last decade of the 20th century has seen monumental changes in the design of all types of cruising yachts and the way in which we can fit them out and sail them. This book evaluates modern technology and looks at every aspect of modern yacht design and construction, seaworthiness and comfort. It examines the many new electronic aids to navigation and communication that can make life safer for the offshore sailor and all the other high-tech equipment now available. But, more importantly, it explains clearly what is really of use, and then measures the new against the traditional.
The book looks at each part of the boat and suggest what can be done to improve the above- and below-deck environment. It shows that a well-designed boat, chosen with care and fitted out with the right equipment, will keep its owner comfortable and safe.
