5.0 out of 5 stars
A classical Bolger boat book with a wide remit,
By A Customer
This review is from: 100 Small Boat Rigs (Paperback)
Phil Bolger is a favourite of mine. His writing is clear and direct, and this collection of 100 assorted rigs is no exception. His knowledge of these rigs comes in the main from direct experience, and this adds greatly to the value of the book. The illustrations have just enough detail to make plain the unique nature of a given rig, and there is much for newcomer and experienced sailor alike. So why only 9 out of 10? For me this book is fine, but it does not quite achieve the seductive power of his boat design books. Well worth adding to your library.

Book details,
This review is from: 100 Small Boat Rigs (Paperback)
From the cover: "Phil Bolger writes about sailing rigs, often a hopelessly boring subject, with a refreshing, matter-of-fact confidence. . . It is a complete survey of small-boat rigs, the only one I have ever seen. Anyone who likes saliboats will love it." Chapters cover Cat Rigs, Sloops, Cat-Yawls, Cat-Ketches, Cat-Schooners, Yawls, Ketches, Schooners, Three-Masted Schooners, and Square Rigs.
