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

The sight of a snow-white ship gliding silently along the iol of the mothers is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent. According to the French, there are three wonderful spectacles in the world - a galloping horse, a dancing woman and a ship sailing with all sails. In fact, a sailing ship, despite its technical complexity, is surprisingly 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. impossible to overestimate.
Three decades ago, it seemed that sailing ships remained in the distant past, and the few surviving veterans simply live their lives. Soon the situation changed, and interest in the sail increased sharply. Some of them were attracted by economic benefits, others - environmental cleanliness. third - aesthetics and romance. The construction of new sailboats has begun - training, research, freight and passenger; the mass formation of the abandoned veteran ships and the creation of full-scale copies of historical ships took on ... Gradually, this rush 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 sailing under the flags of at least 40 states are sailing!
The return to the sail was predicted a long time ago. But only at the threshold of the III millennium did this prophecy 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.
