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.

19019The three items on letterheads of Beckbury Hall Shifnal. Postcard: 5 March 1915. Letters: 10 and 13 December 1916. According to his long obituary in The Times 13 June 1929 'Central Asian Politics' Yates's 'studies of the affairs of the Indian borderland Central Asia and the Middle East were probably excelled by few retired officers of the Indian Army in wealth of detail and personal knowledge of events and personalities spread over the last half-century'. See also his long entry in Who Was Who. The three items are in fair condition on aged and worn paper with rusting from paperclip. They carry the stamp and docketing of the Society. The card - signed 'A. C. Yate Lt. Col.' - concerns 'the corrected proof of my lecture on "The Indian Army"'. Both letters totalling 3pp. 12mo concern the manuscript of a lecture he proposes giving - following 'a little discussion' at St John's Gate - on the work of the Indian branch of the Red Cross as 'the Society of Arts meditate a lecture on the Ambulance Work of the War'. Accompanying the three items is a Typed Letter Signed 1p. 4to to Wood from Major W. O. Prichard Chief Secretary The St. John Ambulance Association 28 December 1916 on its St John's Gate letterhead sending at Yate's request a copy of the annual report of the Indian Branch which shows 'what wonderful work has been done by the representatives of the Association in India both in connection with the war and among the civil population'. The three items on letterheads of Beckbury Hall, Shifnal. Postcard: 5 March 1915. Letters: 10 and 13 December 1916. unknown
