Here is a little book about nautical etiquette that will appeal to all those who sail for sport or pleasure, from the neophyte to the veteran boater. With a light but sure touch, marked by gentle humor, Lindsay Lord explores both the past and present state of yachting culture. Alert to the foibles and excesses of the pleasure-boating tradition, he succeeds in extracting from the elaborate and sometimes extravagant mores of bygone years those practices that are sound and worth preserving today. His commonsense approach, enriched by many happy boating years, enables him to save what is valuable in time-honored ways while adjusting creatively to today's needs.
With Mr. Lord's guidance yachters can achieve a rightful pride in their vessels, whether sail or power, and a sure sense of what is proper and fitting conduct. There are also apt descriptions of the protocol for the yacht club ashore.
If readers take Mr. Lord to heart, they will find that they can enjoy making boating-for-pleasurc notably civilized and safe.
The late Lindsay Lord was a naval architect who held graduate degrees from MIT and Pacific University. The author of Naval Architecture of Planing Hulls, he taught his specialty at George Washington University.
Waldo C. M. Johnston is director emeritus of Mystic Seaport Museum, and a yachtsman of long standing. C. D. Clarke lives on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
