Two important books, in valuable to those who take yacht racing seriously, have been received during the month. They are “The Tech niques of Small Boat Racing” and “Yacht Racing Rules”. \Neither is cheap—but devotees will probably consider them worth the price. The first book is based on International 14 class yachts land although, like many books ■on yachting, it has an American henesis, pains have been taken to make its subject-matter applicable to yachtsmen on both sides of the Atlantic— [which makes it applicable to {people in the rest of the world as well. Both British and L American yachting writers have contributed to it and it contains every aspect of the preparation \of the craft as well as the techniques to be employed in
lactual sailing.
I “Yacht Racing Rules”, also jw international, although here [again, it had its origin in yimerica. The book is based on the 1961 Racing Rules of [ the International Yacht-Rac \ing Union, and where new \rules have replaced old, major differences are shown.
Both books are profusely by drawings, pictures
land diagrams.
