What reading level is A Manual of Yacht And Boat Sailing book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Draught of water, extreme 3ft. Weight of ballast 21cwt. Mast, gunwale to cranse 18ft. Area of sail 190 sq. ft. I 374 Yacht and Boat Sailing. Lead and eveiything else being now mucli cheaper, 61. might be deducted from the cost as just given of a 19ft, boat of the old type. The cost of a 2|-tonner (corresponding to the old 19ft. class), with all lead ballast, racing sails, and gear would not fall far short of 150/. In 1879 nearly all the clubs adopted the Y.R.A. rule of measure- ment, with the e...ffect that a number of miniature yachts which in no way possess any special features as to hull, sails, or ballasting, appeared. They are simply models of big yachts ; in one or two instances, indeed, they were built direct off the lines t)f five or ten tonners, the scale being altered to suit. Three-and-a-half, two-and-a-half, and one- and-a-half ton yachts have therefore been competing in the old 15ft., 19ft., and 22ft. classes, the new boats being one-third to one-half longer, and having half as much displacement again as their rivals, while they have the further advantage of carrying a large proportion of the ballast outside, the result being that the old type of boat is likely to be improved off the face of the water.
