The schooner rig has always been associated with speed and elegance, and with the romance of privateers and illicit trade but it has also been employed in just about every conceivable seafaring role over four centuries and across the worlds seas and oceans. This book is a comprehensive history of the rigs development from its emergence in Holland in the early years of the seventeenth century right up to the present when it is experiencing a renaissance in the world of luxury charter. In this broad-ranging survey the author describes in detail the development of this beautiful rig and gives examples of all these types in doing so he tells a rich and varied story which delves into every corner of maritime history.
