Description
Skene’s is one of the most famous books on yacht design ever written. First published in 1904, Skene did several revisions, the last of which was published in 1938. In 1962, the book was completely revised by Francis S. Kinney and re-published as Skene’s Elements of Yacht Design. Kinney’s last version was in 1973 . “This book is intended to be a practical and concise presentation of some of the operations involved in designing yachts of all types. Cumbersome and impractical methods which are so often found in more pretentious works on naval architecture have been avoided. Those presented have been in everyday use by the author.” Thus wrote Norman L. Skene in the preface to the fifth edition of Elements of Yacht Design.
This volume is the eighth edition of the book, revised by Francis S. Kinney.
