Tout connaître sur les vieux gréements - Tome 4

In this latest volume, we take a look at hull construction. Its aesthetics are an important element, so you'll find tips on how to taper
strakes to size. You'll also find solutions to a recurring problem for all sailors: how to control heeling. We couldn't end this series without taking you through the construction of a model which, in our opinion, is one of the most elegant of all pilot cutters, Liberté. And, should you lack inspiration, the final chapter reviews some of the most emblematic fishing yachts of our coasts.
