PREFACE
The proofs have had the benefit of careful reading and revision by Mr. Frederick St. John Gore, whose practical knowledge of sailing has enabled him to make various suggestions for the improvement and perfecting of the book.
As regards the book itself, little need be said. The skipper of the Falcon is too well known as a daring and experienced boat-sailer, and we launch his little volume in the confident belief that it will prove of real use to the class of yachtsmen for whom it is intended.
