  • Piratical Boating-Sailing: A Concise and Simple Treatise
  • Canoeing To-Day
  • Dinghy Sailing: Simply Explained
  • Sailing for the Novice
  • Learning to Sail
  • Complete Boating Handbook

With simple, step-by-step instructions and many helpful diagrams, these timeless are ideal for those with little or no previous experience, and are not to be missed by the discerning collector.
