Many new links. Includes a link to a 1954 RUDDER article by the
excellent Percy Blandford on a small dinghy rig - rigging the
generic dinghy to sail about in. The ideas are adaptable to a
canoe, of course.
The small boat and canoe parts of Warren Miller's ca 1919 book
are now available and linked to Canoe Sailing Resources 2003.

Please report any real strange stuff or mis-spellings. The
images are relatively large at this stage (in file size) and will be
compressed more -- so some pages load a little slowly. The
original images are really grainy and I did my best on 'em.
The info he gives on spars and sails is pretty good and more
detailed than you usually see. Since the info appeared ca
1910-11 in magazines it's a good bet that this is an example of a
practical early-1900s rig which looks adaptable to modern
materials.
