Book Reviews of The Story of Sail: Illustrated With 1000 Scale Drawings

Book Review: More boats than you can shake a stick at!
Summary: 5 Stars

The chapters on small working boats from all countries is very useful, especially for the fine detail of standing and running rigging. Of particular interest to the modeller is the section on ship's boats, which includes the sail rigs employed and seating arrangements.

The sections on eastern craft are particularly interesting, as we rarely see these depicted as scale drawings... Here we see junks, sampans, proas, prahus, catamarans, dhows, booms, sambuks etc.

A wonderful book, that I recommend to anyone with a passing interest in sail. *****
