I prepared it with help from an international group of sailors and naval architects, and I welcome further input for possible future revisions of the text. The only illustrations not done by me are at least a century old. I leave to others the granular histories of various racing sailboat classes, and attempt only to trace the history of planing sailboats as a type -- the ideas behind them and the evolving understanding of what makes them fast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 13, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46586215301317,"sku":"9798685749901","price":18.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/PMsJ61azVE9798685749901_1bee9dbb-dd6f-4a30-99b9-6187806b5a53.webp?v=1784884823","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-evolution-of-planing-sailboats-paperback-1","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
