Dixon Kemp's famous "Manual of Yacht and Boat Sailing" was first published in 1878. The general plan of that first edition was maintained in subsequent editions, but considerable new material was added to each edition reflecting the introduction of new designs, and the changing face of yachting during the final two decades of the 19th century. This edition contains new material on many new types of British and American yachts, a revised and extended section on canoes, and is the first edition to include a chapter on Steam Yachting
