The comprehensive book published in 1928 by Günther Werckmeister, one of the German pioneers of cruising sailing, not only vividly and richly illustrated describes the selection criteria for a cruising and sailing yacht, as well as its equipment and maintenance, but also recounts several journeys to Norway, England, and the Baltic Sea. Technical aspects are also covered in detail. The search for the "ideal" sailing cruiser is explored, the best rigging is discussed, and all the necessary equipment is thoroughly described. Additionally, there is a precise description of 30 harbors and anchorages between Gothenburg and the Sognefjord. Anyone planning to embark on a long voyage with a traditional yacht today will find many unique pieces of information here, all well and engagingly written.
