Italian-language book. 'Works and equipment for vintage and traditional boats Wooden boats have a soul that collects and preserves the ancient knowledge of seafarers. On board the wooden boats, the "ladies of the sea", techniques and materials are used that have their origins in a very distant past where the ancient knowledge of seafarers began. In the pages of this book, the history of navigation mixes with the ancient seafaring art, providing the reader with a useful set of notions that will prove invaluable on board and ashore. From the secrets of hemp cables to splicing and binding techniques; from advice on canvas for sails to techniques for reinforcing them: the owner (and amateur) of vintage boats cannot do without this manual. Pages full of practical advice and secrets of an ancient seafaring art that will prove invaluable even for today's navigators.'
