Balakin S.A., Maslyaev Yu.L. sailing ships

The sight of a snow-white ship silently gliding along the iola is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. According to the French, there are three beautiful sights in the world - a galloping horse, a dancing woman and a ship under full sail. Indeed, a sailing ship, despite its technical complexity, is amazingly beautiful. It is an example of a harmonious combination of rationality and environmental cleanliness. The role that he had to play in the development of civilization. cannot be overestimated.
Three decades ago, it seemed that sailing ships remained in the distant past, and the few surviving veterans are simply living out their lives. Soon the situation changed, and interest in the sail increased dramatically. Some were attracted to it by economic benefits, others - by environmental cleanliness. third - aesthetics and romance. The construction of new sailboats began - training, research, cargo and passenger; the formation of abandoned veteran ships and the creation of full-scale copies of historical ships became widespread ... Gradually, this craze spread so much in the world that the revival of the sail is now spoken of as a fait accompli. Still, today on the planet, excluding sports and pleasure yachts, hundreds of white-winged ships sail under the flags of at least 40 states!
Return to the sail predicted for a long time. But only on the threshold of the III millennium, this prophecy began to come true. And perhaps a meeting with a sailing ship on the high seas will soon cease to be a rarity.
The book contains drawings for lovers of ship modeling.

If you write in dry official language, then in book "Building Model Ships" summarized shipbuilding history. Much attention is paid to the general principles of designing ships and models. Information about the structure of ancient ships and their armament is given, it is explained in detail what material and how best to build ship models. A huge number of diagrams and drawings illustrate each point " ship model buildings".
And if you write it the way it really is, then Kurti's book "Building Model Ships"- a real "bible" (or the Old Testament) for all ship modellers. Beginners will learn from it not only the basic principles and secrets of modeling but also an understanding of ship design. And this, in turn, allows you to not just copy the drawings, but really build a model, which brings incomparably more pleasure. However, the book Building Model Ships"It is not for nothing that they call it an encyclopedia - even experienced modellers will find new and interesting information in it, whether it is the history of shipbuilding or ship modeling techniques. The book " Building Model Ships"- the most quoted on our forum, and this is not without reason: in it you can find answers to all questions of initial complexity and many questions of medium complexity. Finally, this book has only been published once so far: in the 1970s by the Shipbuilding ", so most of us do not have this book in paper form, only in electronic form. And now it is possible to put this source on which we grew up on the bookshelf.
In addition, Orazio Curti's book is suitable for a wide range of readers interested in the history and construction of sailing ships.
