Cruising Yachts : Design and Performance

Dr Thomas Harrison Butler was a skilled, yet amateur, designer responsible for some hundreds of classic English cruising yachts which still grace our seas. "Cruising Yachts", his design manifesto, first appeared in 1945 - the year of his death - and last appeared in print in 1995.

This long overdue Fifth Edition has been produced in collaboration with the Harrison Butler Association, and is a complete re-setting of the original text, drawings and mono photographs, documenting in detail HB's approach to the design and equipping of a yacht, providing an annotated catalogue of notable designs, and including a biographical portrait by HB's daughter, the late Joan Jardine-Brown.

New for this edition are a modern gallery of colour photographs of HB yachts, and a thoughtful and illuminating Foreword by the late Ed Burnett, who was our foremost designer of modern yachts in the classic English idiom.

Aero-hydrodynamics and the Performance of Sailing Yachts - The Science Behind Sailing Yachts and Their Design

A groundbreaking, technical analysis of yacht design, linked to the theory and testing of how a sailing yacht behaves underway. It is cutting edge - the author (a world expert in the field) has drawn his conclusions from years of research, analytical testing in wind tunnels and tanks, and his results represent the state of the art in performance prediction which underlies all modern yacht design.

State of the art and with a revolutionary modern approach, "Aero-hydrodynamics and the Performance of Sailing Yachts" provides a systematic and completely up to date analysis, complete with colour photographs and diagrams throughout. An essential, and long awaited, work for all professional yacht designers, racing sailors and students of yacht design.

The Elements of Boat Strength - For Builders, Designers and Owners

Acclaimed author and naval architect Dave Gerr created this unique system of easy-to-use scantling rules and rules-of-thumb for calculating the necessary dimensions, or scantlings, of hulls, decks, and other boat parts, whether built of fiberglass, wood, wood-epoxy composite, steel, or aluminum.

In addition to the rules themselves, 'The Elements of Boat Strength' offers their context: an in-depth, plain-English discussion of boatbuilding materials, methods, and practices that will guide you through all aspects of boat construction.

Now you can avoid wading through dense technical engineering manuals or tackling advanced mathematics. This guide has all the formulas, tables, illustrations, and charts you need to judge how heavy each piece of your boat should be in order to last and be safe.
With this book, an inexpensive scientific calculator, and a pad of paper, you'll be able to design and specify all the components necessary to build a sound, long-lasting, rugged vessel.

L'ouvrage est richement illustré de superbes photographies, complétées parfois de schémas, qui font de chaque page un nouveau plaisir de découverte : la coque et le pont ; le gréement ; les superstructures ; l'accastillage et les équipements ; les annexes ; les aménagements ; la mécanique et l'électronique.

Ainsi, tous les composants du voilier d'aujourd'hui, de la quille à la pomme du mât, en passant par les hublots et les compas, sont passés en revue avec l'explication de leurs origines et de leurs évolutions, sans oublier leurs matériaux d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. De nombreuses anecdotes historiques rendent la lecture aussi enrichissante que distrayante.
"Anatomie du voilier" réussit l'alliance entre savoir et plaisir, de quoi satisfaire la curiosité de tous les amoureux du bateau, qu'ils naviguent ou qu'ils en rêvent à la vue des magnifiques yachts aperçus dans un port.
