Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This is a complete and accessible handbook on canoeing, sailing, and motor boating, being a guide to the general management and building thereof. Written in simple, plain language and profusely illustrated, “Canoeing, Sailing And Motor Boating” will be of considerable utility to modern boating enthusiasts and those with an interest in boat construction. Contents include: “The Sailing Batteau”, “Sail Dory, Duckboat and Skiff”, “Catboats and Knockabouts”, “Boat Building”, “Canoeing and Cruising”, “How to Rig and Handle an Open Canoe”, “Canoe Cruising”, “How to Build a Decked Canvas Cruising Canoe”, “Canoe Fittings”, “Motor Boat Management and Construction”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
