On Yachts and Yacht Handling is a practical guide to seamanship and yacht operation written by Thomas Fleming Day in the early 20th century. Drawing from over thirty years of personal experience, Day emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and personal experience in sailing rather than rote memorization of rules. The book covers various topics including boat types, rigging, anchoring, and best practices for safe sailing, making it a valuable resource for those learning to handle small vessels.
