Float Your Boat!

Traces the evolution of the sailing craft, from prehistoric coracles made of animal skins and antlers to the sailboat's reinvention as a pleasure craft during the Industrial Revolution. This book identifies specific sailing phenomena - how wind drives modern Bermuda sloops, how torque determines stability, why hull speed exists.
