Self-steering under sail
I haven't finished reading it yet (splitting the available time with We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea(!)) but the pictures alone are worth the download. Self-Steering Under Sail by Peter Christian Forthmann.

My kids were filled with wonder and delight when we first anchored at Walton Backwaters, and I took them out in the tender to retrace the route of the race......

A delightful book indeed
A real childrens' book but from an age when children were children and weren't required to wear PFDs at all times. "If duffers will drown." It's beautifully constructed (a few McGuffins (sp?)) and the sailing is completely accurate (almost) and offers perhaps as much to adults as ankle-biters.
