RUNNING HARD.—“ ... so wonderfully exhilarating that once experienced it is never forgotten, and nobody aboard will wish to miss a moment of such glorious sailing." The picture is from the second edition of “Cruising Under Sail,” by Eric C. Hiscock (Oxford University Press, 478 pp), a comprehensive book which covers every practical aspect of cruising under sail. Since the book was first published in 1950, many improvements hate been made to cruising yachts and their equipment; new materials are being used, and electronics are aiding the navigator. To comprehend these developments, the new edition has been largely rewritten, and it has been necessary to replace some of the original plates. The result is that “Cruising Under Sail” holds its place as the outstanding book on the subject, having behind it the authority of a man who is both a leading yachtsman and an experienced writer.
