This page needs to be proofread.
In addition to the rigs described in this chapter as suitable for small craft, there are others with which I have not dealt as being not in use in this country. There is the lateen-rig, for example, graceful, but somewhat difficult to manage, and having the disadvantages of the standing-lug. The account of two cruises in lateen-rigged craft with which this volume ends will convey some idea of the Arab method of handling their vessels.
An image should appear at this position in the text. To use the entire page scan as a placeholder, edit this page and replace "{{missing image}}" with "{{raw image|Small-boat sailing; an explanation of the management of small yachts, half-decked and open sailing-boats of various rigs; sailing on sea and on river; cruising, etc (IA smallboatsailing01knig).pdf/108}}".
