John Leather's story of gaff rig is exciting and romantic; featuring such delightful anomalies as a yard building a smuggling cutter alongside a Naval cutter and captains fishing in winter and skippering the great many racing yachts of the late-19th century during summer. The superlative drawings complement the lucid text and the forty photographs represent a unique historical collection". Clean.
