Year: 1906 Language: English Author: Davis C.G. Genre: Manual Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 36 Description: Among his other careers, Charles G. Davis was a well-known writer and illustrator for The Rudder, published from 1891 to 1977. In this book, How to Design a Yacht, published by The Rudder in 1906, Author Charles G. Davis talks about owning one sailboat, designing another, and delivering a third down the coast, and he takes a personal joy in each of the boats drawn. He loves each and every one, and shares them with us through his illustrations and hand-written text. How to Design a Yacht is fully illustrated with Mr. Davis’s technically precise drawings and lively pen-and-ink sketches of the boats he loves. Nearly every page displays several ink drawings illustrating the text. He gives a friendly explanation of how to design a beautiful boat for yourself, how to balance a flowing sheerline and includes drawings of the relative heights of the bow and stern on different vessel types. He writes, "From the simple little plumb-ended cat-boat to the elaborate steam yacht there is a certain harmony of proportions and angles for each that can make a complete-looking, tidy little craft, or a great ugly-looking unfinished appearing one.” Along with an extensive and useful description of how to actually draw your own set of lines plans, Davis explains how to create a table of offsets, and how to calculate your hull’s displacement and sail area. A good portion of the book is devoted to illustrating his instructional points, with line drawings, sketches, and commentary of 24 beautiful small boats.
