To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Moreover, the style of the yachts was modified in such a way as to show their close relationship to the great ships of the English navy, and, further back still, to the vessels which had come from Holland. The influence of the first Mary was indeed restrained, yet it was not altogether obliterated in the designs of the eighteenth- century pleasure fore-and-afters. CHAPTER \ I THE INFLUENCE OF HOLLAND ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FORE-AND-AFT RIG NOW that we have seen the development of the fore-an...d-aft rig in Holland, as well as the intro- duction of the first fore-and-afters, or at any rate of the first fore-and-aft yachts into England, we are in a position to follow the development of this new rig, and to observe how from the time when Holland had reached her grand climax the history of the rig passes away from the Low Countries. We have seen that it is certain that until the advent of the Mary there was no such thing as a yacht in English life. Whether there were, prior to this, any fore-and-afters for trading or fishing purposes is ex- tremely doubtful and impossible to say definitely.
