About this book
Boat Sailing in Fair Weather and Foul is a book by A. J. Kenealy. The text says enamel paint should be used above the water-line, and the bottom may be painted with any one of the excellent compositions now in the market. The text warns never to use washing soda or boiling water to clean wood covered with enamel paint.
The text says the ends of all ropes, whether belonging to the running or standing rigging, must be whipped with tarred roping twine or they will unravel. A description of an eye splice tells the sailor to unlay the rope and lay the strands E, F, G at the proper distance upon the standing part, as shown at A. The text says the helmsman must be always on the alert to prevent the boat from broaching to, which means flying up in the wind.
