Summary "On Yacht Sailing" by Thomas Fleming Day is a practical manual intended for beginners interested in the art of handling small yachts and boats. Written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1900s, this instructional guide provides comprehensive insights into sailing techniques, boat handling, and nautical terminology. The book aims to demystify the process of learning to sail for those with little to no prior knowledge, focusing on safety and care in sailing practices. The book delves into essential sailing topics, including the anatomy of boats, the mechanics of rigging, and various sailing maneuvers.
