 good-sized jib is carried. It is a splendid rig for windward work,
but is a bad rig before the wind and for amateur use is not to be
recommended.

For boats over twenty-five feet long nothing is handier or better than
the yawl rig. In the first place it is just as easy to sail as a sloop
or jib-and-mainsail rig, for the tiny mizzen practically takes care of
itself. When coming to a mooring or to anchor the mainsail may be
lowered and the boat handled under jib and mizzen and by hauling the
mizzen close in and lowering the other sails the boat will lie right in
the wind’s eye when at moorings or riding out a gale. If in a narrow
channel a yawl may actually be _backed_ out by swinging the mizzen
across the boat and lowering the other sails and when tacking or coming
about in a seaway or where there is a strong current the mizzen helps
wonderfully and the boat’s head may be quickly brought about by hauling
the mizzen to windward. In case of a sudden squall or a heavy wind the
boat may be sailed safely under jib and mizzen and, best of all, when
one is obliged to reef, it is not necessary to anchor or toss about
helplessly and drift down the wind, for the mainsail may be lowered and
reefed in comfort while holding on the course under jib and mizzen.

Nevertheless the beginner should never attempt to learn to sail or
handle a boat with a yawl, schooner, sloop or even a jib-and-mainsail
rig. Commence with a single, simple sail, such as a sprit, a
leg-o’-mutton, a gunter, a lug, a lateen or a gaff-and-boom sail and
when you have become thoroughly accustomed to this, when you know how to
sail and handle your simple boat and sail under all conditions, then and
not until then, you may try your hand at craft with more sails and
rigging.

                        HOW TO SAIL A SMALL BOAT


The first thing you should learn to do if you expect
good - sized jib is carried. It is a splendid rig for windward workplace, 
 but is a regretful rig before the wind and for amateurish use is not to be 
 commend. 

 For boats over twenty - five foundation long nothing is handier or good than 
 the yawl rig. In the first position it is just as easy to sweep as a sloop 
 or jib - and - mainsail rig, for the tiny mizzen practically takes caution of 
 itself. When coming to a mooring or to anchor the mainsail may be 
 lowered and the boat handle under jib and mizzen and by hauling the 
 mizzen close in and lower the other sails the boat will lie right in 
 the fart ’s eye when at moorings or riding out a gale. If in a narrow 
 channel a yawl may actually be _ backed _ out by swinging the mizzen 
 across the boat and lowering the other sails and when tacking or coming 
 about in a seaway or where there is a strong current the mizzenmast help 
 wonderfully and the boat ’s headway may be promptly brought about by hauling 
 the mizzen to windward. In shell of a sudden squall or a heavy wind the 
 boat may be sailed safely under jib and mizzenmast and, best of all, when 
 one is obliged to reef, it is not necessary to anchor or toss about 
 helplessly and drift down the wind, for the mainsail may be lowered and 
 reefed in comfort while holding on the course under jib and mizzenmast. 

 Nevertheless the founder should never try to learn to sail or 
 handle a boat with a yawl, schooner, sloop or even a jib - and - mainsail 
 swindle. Commence with a single, simple sail, such as a sprit, a 
 leg - o’-mutton, a gunter, a lug, a lateen or a gaff - and - boom sail and 
 when you have become thoroughly accustomed to this, when you know how to 
 sail and wield your simple gravy boat and sail under all conditions, then and 
 not until then, you may try your hand at craft with more sail and 
 rigging.
