"On Yachts and Yacht Handling" by Thomas Fleming Day is a manual from the early 1900s focused on teaching the art of sailing and yacht management. The book serves as a tool for people wanting to improve their sailing skills with real understanding, based on the author's thirty years of navigating the seas. Instead of just giving rules and regulations, the author encourages new sailors to employ personal awareness and critical thinking to the learning process. Day stresses the importance of experience, self-reliance, and being ready for anything; it is more than a lesson, but the wisdom gained through thoughtful practice in the world of sailing vessels.
