Boatbuilding - Yesterday and Today: Trends, preferences and priorities Foerthmann Peter
Peter Foerthmann has been the first port of call for bluewater sailors seeking advice in steering matters for decades. Half a century of experience with both his own boats (several dozen have come and gone over the years) and other people's (Peter has installed self-steering gear for literally thousands of sailors) has left him with a treasure trove of invaluable information to share. His unrivalled expertise - the product of a lifetime developing and manufacturing windvane self-steering systems and contemplating their every complexity - continues to draw enquiries from all over the world.
It examines the differences between traditional and more recent design conventions and their implications for offshore use, explains why some modern boats may not be such a good idea for long-distance cruising This book focuses on the attributes that make a yacht suitable for bluewater passagemaking.
