- Seaworthiness : The Forgotten Factor
Tony Marchaj, an avid sailor and independent aerodynamics consultant, theorizes that the "increased casualities amongst contemporary yachts" is due to modern sailing yacht design, which, he feels, often sacrifices safety for speed.
In this book, the author attempts to objectively consider "the design features" which contribute to a sailing yacht truly being seaworthy. (Added: 8-Oct-1999 Hits: 445) My Links | Rate | Check Price Buy this Book Online Now
