| Summary | "Boat Sailing in Fair Weather and Foul" by A. J. Kenealy is a practical guide on sailing techniques and boat ownership written in the early 20th century. The book aims to educate amateur sailors by providing insights into choosing boats, handling them under various weather conditions, and navigating safely. It emphasizes the importance of seamanship and offers advice for both new and seasoned sailors looking to hone their skills or make informed purchasing decisions. The opening of this guide sets the stage for an engaging exploration of the sailing lifestyle, starting with a preface that acknowledges its unexpected popularity since its first edition in 1894. Kenealy discusses the different types of boats and emphasizes the importance of selecting the right craft based on one’s location and sailing ambitions. He encourages readers to join yacht clubs for not only practical guidance but also a sense of community among fellow sailing enthusiasts. This chapter lays a solid foundation for the rest of the book, preparing readers for more detailed technical instructions on sailing practices and equipment as the guide progresses.
