Featuring contributions from some of the most famous and diverse figures in the history of yachting and sailing, from Thomas Fleming Day and C. Andrade, Jr. to John Alden and ZL. Francis Herreshoff, "The Rudder Treasury" is a timeless record of decades' worth of accumulated experience.

This volume encompasses some of the best articles ever to appear in the legendary "Rudder" magazine, the premier nautical publication from the first half of the twentieth century. It contains a treasure trove of influential writings on a varied array of topics. The four sections contain Winter Reading (all sorts of cruising adventures), The Dream Ships (plans and descriptions of various boats by well-known designers), the Care and Feeding of Yachtsmen, and The Hurrah's Nest, a bilgeful of dogmatic advice, arbitrary opinions, and clever divices and methods. This antholoy is an invaluable resource, representing a wealth of wisdom unabailable for the past fifty years.
