Page:Small-boat sailing; an explanation of the management of small yachts, half-decked and open sailing-boats of various rigs; sailing on sea and on river; cruising, etc (IA smallboatsailing01knig).pdf/108

 In addition to the rigs described in this chapter as suitable for small craft, there are others with which I have not dealt as being not in use in this country. There is the lateen-rig, for example, graceful, but somewhat difficult to manage, and having the disadvantages of the standing-lug. The account of two cruises in lateen-rigged craft with which this volume ends will convey some idea of the Arab method of handling their vessels.
