One-Design Class Sailboat HandbookEntry/Object ID
GV811 .S3Description
Over half a million one-design sailboats are afloat on American waters this year. Among the most popular one-design classes are the Blue Jay, Comet, International 110, Lightning, Moth, Snipe, and Sailfish-Sunfish. There are dozens of other major classes, however, and each boat in each class is constructed to the same specifications with measurements held to strict tolerances.
This book not only supplies detailed information on selecting and purchasing the best one-design sailboat for the owner's individual requirements, but it also tells where each class is most popular, how the class associations are organized, and what they offer. Class boat racing is discussed with information on racing courses, racing rules, and scoring.
More than seventy-five one-design racing sailboat classes are listed with the names of the associations, specifications, construction material allowed for each, price range, names and addresses of builders, and where there is racing activity. Nearly one hundred and fifty racing-cruising and auxiliary classes are covered and there is a chapter on one-design class catamarans.Collection
