Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Gaff rigging dominated the world of sailing for 250 years before the emergence of the Bermudan rig, and is currently enjoying a considerable revival of interest.

Two new chapters have been added to this second edition to examine French and Baltic gaff rigs. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
