520 _a"Yachting, Vol. 2" by Pritchett, Blake, Dufferin, Ava, McFerran, and Middleton is a comprehensive collection focusing on yachting as a sport and pastime, written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into various aspects of yachting history, particularly within the British context, including the influence of royal patrons, notable yacht clubs, and significant events in yachting races and design. It aims to provide readers with a thorough understanding of how yachting has evolved as a cultural and sporting activity. At the start of the book, the authors reflect on the rich maritime history of England and its affinity for yachting, noting key figures and developments from Queen Elizabeth's era to the reign of Charles II. They highlight the enthusiasm surrounding yacht building and racing in the 17th century, illustrated through historical anecdotes and references to important early yachts and their designers. The text emphasizes the establishment of significant yacht clubs and introduces the Royal Yacht Squadron, detailing its prestigious status and historical significance within yachting culture. Thus, the opening portion sets a foundation for a broader exploration of the various facets of yachting, blending historical anecdotes with practical insights into the world of sailing and yacht racing.
