Großsegler - Mit der Kraft des Windes über die Weltmeere
Segelschiffe faszinieren uns seit Jahrtausenden und bis heute gibt es kein anderes Verkehrsmittel, mit dem wir mit Windantrieb die ganze Welt bereisen können. Sie ermöglichten einst die Entdeckung fremder Kontinente sowie den Kultur- und Warentransfer zwischen den Völkern. Bis heute berühren uns Segelschiffe durch ihre majestätische Präsenz, wenn wir sie bei maritimen Großveranstaltungen bestaunen dürfen.
Dieser Band von Hans Karr versammelt die bedeutendsten der heute noch aktiven Großsegler und erläutert ihre technischen Besonderheiten. Anekdoten aus den Lebensläufen der Schiffe runden die Portraits unterhaltsam ab.

Großsegler - Mit der Kraft des Windes über die Weltmeere
Around 200 sailing vessels take part in the Tall Ships series of races, which travel the world each year. They regularly attract up to five million spectators, easily making them the largest public attendance of any event in the world. When the ships are in port, they are often open to the public to view them, from period Victorian sailing ships to brand-new sailing vessels with every modern convenience.
One of the challenges for spectators is working out which ship is which and the Tall Ships Handbook is a handy guidebook that makes it easy to identify each vessel, and also gives some background to the history and ownership.
Sailing into the Past - Learning from Replica Ships
Until recently, there was little practical knowledge of the ships of the distant past. We could only surmise as to the manner in which a Viking ship sailed or how fast a Greek trireme could be rowed. The building of accurate replicas over the past generation has changed all that, and what has been learnt about the ships and boats of our ancestors has radically changed our perceptions of sailing and voyaging. This beautifully-illustrated book charts those discoveries.
The world's leading authorities look at individual replicas and discuss what they have taught us. Boris Rankov and John Coates, for example, discuss the Greek trireme, while Antonia Macarthur outlines the lessons learnt on Cook's Endeavour. Each chapter deals with a particular vessel and construction, sail plans, and the intended role are covered before an analysis of sailing performance is discussed. Windward ability, seakindliness, speed and ease of handling are all dealt with. General chapters by Richard Woodman and Sean McGrail set the scene.
A fascinating work which offers the most accessible view yet as to how the ships of our seafaring forbears affected the manner in which they traded, fought and explored.
