DISPONIBILITÀ GARANTITA AL 99%; SPEDIZIONE ENTRO 12 ORE DALL'ORDINE. OTTIME CONDIZIONI, MAI SFOGLIATO, LIEVISSIMI SEGNI DEL TEMPO. Un manuale di successo, il cui autore, architetto navale ed esperto mondiale di navigazione da diporto, ci rivela con grande perizia tutti i segreti delle imbarcazioni da diporto, dell'aerodinamica e dell'idrodinamica. L'affascinante mondo della vela nella precisa analisi di un grande architetto navale che ci illustra l'incessante progresso delle imbarcazioni da regata e da crociera e il «salto di qualità» avvenuto nel diporto nautico durante gli anni Sessanta. Si tratta di un classico tra i più esaurienti e documentati su questo interessante argomento. Dagli anni Sessanta in Italia la navigazione da diporto ha avuto un grosso incremento; tuttavia le «signore dell'acqua» sono sempre le imbarcazioni a vela, in primo luogo per l'indiscusso fascino che esercitano, poi perché permettono l'impiego di qualità sportive che impegnano costantemente l'equipaggio, e infine perché, pur nella scia della tradizione classica, hanno saputo aggiornarsi modificandosi continuamente in base alle nuove scoperte e alle moderne teorie scientifiche. Redatto da un architetto navale assai noto, che è anche un esperto mondiale di navigazione da diporto, oltre che un entusiasta sportivo, Lo sport della vela riunisce per la prima volta in un unico volume dettagliate notizie sull'aerodinamica e l'idrodinamica, la storia dello yachting, le varie tecniche, le formule di classificazione, le differenti classi, le attrezzature, le vele, il motore ausiliario, la navigazione in generale, eccetera: insomma tutto quanto concerne il diporto velico. L'opera è già stata tradotta in tedesco e in inglese ed è stata a buon diritto definita come la migliore esistente: il largo successo che ha riscosso è dovuto, tra l'altro, alla forma semplice, chiara e concisa usata dall'autore. L'edizione italiana include numerosi aggiornamenti che la rendono di grande interesse storico-nautico. Descrizione bibliografica Titolo: Lo sport della vela.
