London, Horace Cox, 1913.
2 volumes. tall 8vo. ppxviii 786 + 10 pages of adverts, plus separate volume of 94 folding plates.
original grey cloth with leather spine title labels. light spotting to the bindings, and a little light foxing to preliminary pages and page edges, but overall an unusually good condition set.
heraldic book-plates (Douglas Lawson) to front paste-downs.
the final appearance of Dixon Kemp's long-running work, containing a completely revised combined version of the two separate titles - 'Manual of Yacht and Boat Sailing' and 'Yacht Architecture', under the editorship of Brooke Heckstall-Smith and Linton Hope.
In many ways the most desirable edition of this long running yachting classic.
