Book Synopsis The Global Schooner by : Karl Heinz Marquardt
Book excerpt: Often celebrated as one of the most handsome, fast and versatile rigs to grace sailing vessels, the origins of the term 'schooner' have remained uncertain. The majority of studies have placed the main emphasis on the rig as it was applied to merchant vessels since around 1850.
